Intermenstrual pain (Mittelschmerz / ovulation pain)

1 g three or four times daily, maximum 4 g in 24 hours - As needed for pain or fever

15 mg/kg/dose [child max 500 mg]

(Child 1 month and over: 15 mg/kg per dose, 3 or 4 times daily, maximum 60 mg/kg daily. Child under 1 month: 10 mg/kg per dose, 3 or 4 times daily, maximum 40 mg/kg daily. MSF's own weight table gives one 500 mg tablet three times daily from 30 kg to under 50 kg, so 500 mg is the per-dose ceiling; the 60 mg/kg daily total still applies.)

MSF Essential Drugs 2024 - paracetamol (oral)

Symptomatic relief only; it does not treat the cause. The dose is MSF's, under its mild-pain indication: an adult takes 1 g either 3 or 4 times a day, with a daily ceiling of 4 g. The dose claim holds and the indication claim does not, because no disease-level document here recommends an analgesic for mittelschmerz.

200 to 400 mg up to three times a day, at least 4 hours between doses, maximum 1200 mg in 24 hours - Short-term use only; the shortest effective course

(Label verbatim: "For pain and fever 20 mg/kg/day in divided doses (including OTC use)." The label's age bands for the 100 mg/5 ml suspension are 3-6 months 2.5 ml three times daily, 6-12 months 2.5 ml three to four times daily, 1-4 years 5 ml three times daily, 4-7 years 7.5 ml three times daily, 7-12 years 10 ml three times daily. Not to be given under 3 months.)

Ibuprofen 100 mg/5 ml SmPC section 4.2 (eMC product 4560)

An anti-inflammatory analgesic for the pain. The row once read 200 to 400 mg by mouth every 6 to 8 hours as needed, which permits four doses a day, where the label it cites permits three. The label's own figures are 200 mg to 400 mg - 10 to 20 ml - up to three times daily as required, at least four hours apart, and never more than 1200 mg or 60 ml within any 24 hour period. The daily maximum was already right. The citation was also rewritten from a bare URL to the label's name, which is the same document under the form docs/SOURCES.md asks for.
