Product overview

About Nurofen 200mg Tablets

The everyday pain reliever Britain reaches for first: Nurofen's classic 200mg ibuprofen tablets, for headaches, muscular pain, backache, period pain, dental pain, migraine and cold-and-flu aches — with the anti-inflammatory action paracetamol doesn't have. 16 tablets.

Ibuprofen vs paracetamol

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID): it doesn't just dull pain, it damps the inflammation driving it — which is why it shines on swollen, strained and inflamed problems like sprains, period pain and dental pain. It also reduces fever. The two can be alternated for stubborn pain — ask our pharmacist how.

How to take

Adults and children 12+: one to two tablets with water, up to three times a day, leaving at least four hours between doses and never more than six tablets in 24 hours. Take with or after food — ibuprofen and empty stomachs don't mix.

Good to know

Not for people with stomach ulcers, aspirin-sensitive asthma, or in the last three months of pregnancy — and check with a pharmacist first if you take blood-pressure, heart or kidney medicines. Short-term use only: pain beyond 10 days deserves a professional look.
