Nurofen Express Liquid Capsules for Fast Pain Relief

 

You can rely on these liquid-filled capsules to provide effective relief from various types of pain and inflammation. Each capsule contains 400mg of ibuprofen in a liquid formulation that dissolves quickly in your stomach for faster absorption compared to standard tablets. The liquid centre allows the active ingredient to be released more rapidly, helping you get back to your daily activities sooner.

This pack contains 20 capsules, providing you with a convenient supply for managing occasional pain episodes. The capsules are designed to be easy to swallow and are suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age when used as directed.

 

How Ibuprofen Works in Your Body

 

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in your body called prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing these chemicals, ibuprofen helps to decrease swelling, lower your body temperature when you have a fever, and provide pain relief.

The liquid formulation in these nurofen express liquid capsules means the ibuprofen can be absorbed into your bloodstream more quickly than traditional tablet forms, typically providing relief within 15-30 minutes of taking the capsule.

 

Who Can Benefit from These Capsules

 

These capsules are suitable for you if you're looking for fast-acting relief from various types of pain and discomfort. They can be particularly helpful when you need quick relief that fits into your busy schedule. You might find our complete pain relief range useful for comparing different treatment options.

The capsules can help with several conditions:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Dental pain and toothache
  • Period pain and menstrual cramps
  • Muscular and rheumatic pain
  • Back pain and joint stiffness
  • Cold and flu symptoms including fever

 

Why Choose Liquid-Filled Capsules

 

The liquid formulation offers several advantages over traditional tablet forms. The ibuprofen is already dissolved in the capsule, which means your stomach doesn't need to break down a solid tablet first. This can lead to faster onset of action and may be gentler on your stomach lining compared to standard tablets.

The capsules are also easier to swallow for many people who struggle with larger tablets, and the smooth gelatin coating helps them go down more comfortably with water.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

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

The liquid-filled capsules maintain their effectiveness when stored properly, but you should avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures which could affect the capsule shell or liquid contents.

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

You should take one or two capsules with water, up to three times daily 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.

Children aged 12 years and over can take one capsule up to three times daily, with the same four-hour interval between doses. Do not give these capsules to children under 12 years of age.

How to Take Your Capsules Safely

You should swallow the capsules whole with a glass of water, preferably with or after food to reduce the chance of stomach irritation. Do not chew, crush, or break the capsules as this will affect how the medicine is released and absorbed.

Take the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary to control your symptoms. If you need to use these capsules for more than three days for pain relief, or more than three days for fever, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
