Treatment Information
Overview
Nurofen Cold & Flu Tablets provide dual-action relief from cold and flu symptoms. Each tablet contains a combination of the pain killing power of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine. As a strong non-drowsy decongestant, these tablets relieve symptoms in the following ways:
-
Relieving a blocked nose and sinuses
-
Reducing fever
-
Easing aches and pains
-
Soothing headaches
-
Relieve sore throats
Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It changes the body's response to pain, swelling, and high temperature. Pseudoephedrine, a vasoconstrictor, acts on blood vessels in the nose to clear congestion. Together, they provide effective relief from multiple cold and flu symptoms.
