Nurofen Ibuprofen 200mg Tablets for Headache Relief

 

You can rely on these tablets to provide effective relief from headaches, migraines, and general pain. Each tablet contains 200mg of ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals. This pack contains 96 tablets, giving you a convenient supply for managing occasional pain and discomfort.

The tablets are suitable for adults and children over 12 years old when used as directed. You can take them for various types of pain including headaches, dental pain, period pain, muscular pain, and symptoms of cold and flu. The medicine starts working within 30 minutes of taking it, with effects typically lasting 4-6 hours.

 

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Pain and Inflammation

 

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals your body produces in response to injury or illness. These chemicals cause pain, swelling, and inflammation at the site of injury.

By reducing prostaglandin production, ibuprofen 200mg tablets help to decrease both pain and inflammation. This dual action makes it particularly effective for conditions where inflammation contributes to your discomfort, such as headaches, muscle strains, and joint pain. The medicine is absorbed into your bloodstream through your digestive system and distributed throughout your body to where it's needed.

 

Who Can Use These Pain Relief Tablets

 

These tablets are suitable for most adults and children over 12 years old who need temporary relief from mild to moderate pain. You can use them for short-term treatment of various conditions, and they're particularly helpful when you need to continue with daily activities whilst managing discomfort.

The tablets are appropriate for treating:

  • Headaches and tension headaches
  • Migraine symptoms
  • Dental pain and toothache
  • Period pain and menstrual cramps
  • Muscular aches and strains
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Cold and flu symptoms including fever

You should not use these tablets if you're allergic to ibuprofen, aspirin, or other NSAIDs, or if you have a history of stomach ulcers. If you're looking for additional support with pain management, you might find our pain relief collection helpful for exploring other treatment options.

 

Why Choose This Established Pain Relief Option

 

Ibuprofen has been used safely for pain relief for over 50 years and is recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide. The 200mg strength provides effective relief whilst minimising the risk of side effects when used as directed. This pack size offers good value and ensures you have tablets available when you need them.

The tablets have a smooth coating that makes them easier to swallow, and they don't require refrigeration, making them convenient to store at home or carry with you. Each tablet is clearly marked with the strength, helping you ensure you're taking the correct dose.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Information

 

You should store these tablets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture, and ensure they're stored safely away from children. The tablets have a shelf life of several years when stored correctly, and you'll find the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Check the expiry date before use and don't take tablets that have passed their expiry date. If you notice any changes in the appearance of the tablets, such as discolouration or crumbling, you should dispose of them safely and obtain a fresh supply.

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 tablets with water, up to three times daily as needed. Leave at least four hours between doses and don't take more than six tablets in any 24-hour period. Take the tablets with or after food to reduce the chance of stomach irritation.

Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water - don't chew, crush, or break them. If you're taking them for the first time, start with the lowest effective dose to see how you respond. You can increase to two tablets per dose if one tablet doesn't provide sufficient relief.

When and How to Take Your Tablets

You can take these tablets when you first notice pain or discomfort - you don't need to wait for pain to become severe. For ongoing conditions like period pain, you may find it helpful to start taking them at the first sign of symptoms. Take them at regular intervals throughout the day if needed, but always maintain the four-hour gap between doses.

Don't use these tablets for more than three days for fever or more than ten days for pain unless advised by your doctor or pharmacist. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical advice. Always read the patient information leaflet before use and follow the dosage instructions carefully.
