Nurofen Express 400mg Liquid Capsules for Fast Pain Relief

You can rely on these liquid capsules to provide effective relief from various types of pain and inflammation. Each capsule contains 400mg of ibuprofen in a liquid formulation that is designed to be absorbed more quickly than standard tablets. The liquid centre allows the active ingredient to be released faster once you swallow the capsule.

These capsules are suitable for treating headaches, dental pain, period pain, muscular pain, and symptoms of cold and flu. You can also use them to reduce fever and inflammation associated with minor injuries.

How Liquid Ibuprofen Capsules Work in Your Body

The ibuprofen in these capsules belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals your body produces in response to injury or illness that cause pain, swelling and fever.

The liquid formulation means the nurofen express 400mg can start working within 15 minutes of taking it. This is because the liquid ibuprofen doesn't need to break down like a solid tablet before your body can absorb it. You can explore our full range of pain relief options to find the most suitable treatment for your needs.

Who Can Take These Fast-Acting Capsules

These capsules are suitable for adults and children over 12 years old who need effective pain relief. You should only take them if you weigh more than 40kg. They are particularly useful when you need pain relief to work quickly, such as for sudden headaches or acute pain.

Adults and children over 12 years (minimum weight 40kg)
People who need fast-acting pain relief
Those who have difficulty swallowing standard tablets
Anyone seeking relief from headaches, dental pain, or period pain

Why Choose Liquid Capsule Technology

The liquid capsule format offers several advantages over traditional tablets. The soft gelatin capsule is easier to swallow than hard tablets, making it more comfortable for people who struggle with solid medications. The liquid centre also means there's no need for the capsule to disintegrate before the medicine can be absorbed.

This formulation is particularly beneficial when you need pain relief urgently, as it can provide faster onset of action compared to standard ibuprofen tablets. The capsules are also easier on your stomach during the initial absorption phase.

Storage and Shelf Life Information

You should store these capsules in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep them in their original packaging to protect from light and moisture. Always keep medicines out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use the capsules after the expiry date shown on the packaging.

Check the capsules before taking them - do not use if the capsules appear damaged, discoloured, or if the liquid inside has leaked. Each pack contains 20 capsules, providing you with a convenient supply for managing occasional pain.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

Recommended Dosage for Adults and Children Over 12

You should take one or two capsules with water, up to three times a day as needed. Do not exceed six capsules in any 24-hour period. Leave at least four hours between doses to allow the medicine to work effectively and reduce the risk of side effects.

Take the capsules with or after food to help protect your stomach. Swallow the capsules whole with plenty of water - do not chew, break, or open them as this will affect how the medicine is released in your body.

When and How to Take Your Capsules

You can take these capsules when you first notice pain or discomfort, as the fast-acting formulation means you don't need to wait for pain to become severe. For ongoing conditions like period pain, you may find it helpful to take them regularly throughout the day, following the dosage instructions.

If your symptoms persist for more than three days, or if you need to take the capsules for longer than 10 days, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the stated dose, as taking too much ibuprofen can cause serious side effects including stomach problems and kidney damage.
