Nurofen Categories

Nurofen products are clinically proven to provide relief from a huge range of pains. From those niggling headaches, to persistent back pain and even the symptoms of flu, they have perfected a range of products to help target pain, right at the source.
 
Nurofen’s success is the result of over 25 years of research & development. Look at their heritage and you’ll see that the founders of the brand were the first chemists in the UK to use Ibuprofen for the treatment of pain.
 
What Is Ibuprofen?
 
Ibuprofen is a NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) - the term used for a whole group of medications that have pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. It therefore works at the site of pain by blocking the production of the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation in the tissues of the body (these chemicals are called prostaglandins). Salt formats of ibuprofen such as sodium and lysine are modified versions of the NSAID, ibuprofen. Because they are both more water soluble than ibuprofen acid, they help the painkiller dissolve faster.

What Can It Be Used For?

It is effective for headache, fever, neuralgia and symptoms of cold and flu. It is also especially effective on pains such as dental pain, period pain, rheumatic pain, muscular pain, backache and any pain accompanied by swelling.
 
A First For Children
 
As well as discovering ibuprofen, Nurofen was also the first to develop over the counter ibuprofen-based pain-relief for babies and children – launched as Nurofen for Children in 1998. This ibuprofen suspension can give fast, effective relief from pain, fever and high temperatures for babies and children as young as three months (providing baby weighs more than 5kg).
