There is a liquid ibuprofen product “Nurofen” certified by LBD… When bought in uk only.

Medicines (Pain Killers Junior) Nurofen For Children Orange Liquid KLBD Parev

Medicines (Pain Killers Junior) Nurofen For Children Strawberry Liquid KLBD Parev

This is LBD’s web page:

http://www.theus.org.uk/jewish_living/keeping_kosher/keeping_kosher/kosher_product_search/

Search for Nurofen for more details and products. seems not all products are certified some are “listed” (May rely on bittul?)

If you know someone in UK have them ship to you.

It is also non staining and comes with an excellent no spill syringe dispenser.

To Mark Levin:

I have been usin ADWE(R) medicines for years while they may not taste as good as the pork, they are HIGH quality products medically. I have done research. I cannot say the same for other brands as I have not researched them. Actually the OU has a policy of not giving a hechsher on these products unless they are very high quality as it may cost them their reputation in the goyishe velt that equates Kosher with Quality.

1, why should we buy substandard products when there is plenty of reason to say that one can take non kosher approved medication without a shayla?

I wouldnt even touch “heimish” products. You think the heimishe products are better because of hashgocha? If that is the case, for the most part, you dont know what you are talking about.

It may be the right time to have all the kosher consumers start buying only medicines with a certified kosher supervision such as ADWE products. I would have to admit that I myself would have to follow such a rule as I always thought that Tylenol and Motrin and Advil, etc are not a cause of alarm. But obviously the world is changing and one must start using the Heimishe brands of medicine as well. YW, thank you for keeping us informed.
