What is Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) taken for fast-acting relief from mild to moderate pain.

Ibuprofen offers fast relief for:

  • Fever
  • Swelling and inflammation
  • Period pain and cramps
  • Migraine and headache
  • Back pain
  • Tooth pain
  • Muscle pains and joint conditions (arthritis).

How does Ibuprofen work?

Ibuprofen works by providing pain relief at the site of the pain rather than taking effect on the nervous system like other pain relief medications.

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication that works to reduce the activity of specific enzymes responsible for producing chemical compounds called prostaglandins in the body. Prostaglandins are responsible for causing pain and inflammation.

Ibuprofen works by reducing or preventing this chain reaction, decreases the production of prostaglandins at the site of discomfort and helps to decrease localised inflammation and pain.

How do I use Ibuprofen?

We advised taking Ibuprofen orally with a glass of water with or just after a meal. This can help reduce stomach irritation.
