Treatment Information
Overview
Nurofen Express is a reliable and tested medicine that provides fast-acting relief from pain and inflammation caused by headaches and migraines. Each caplet contains ibuprofen laysine which is absorbed in the body quickly like standard ibuprofen and its anti-inflammatory properties help relieve pain and fever.
Nurofen Express each pack consists of 24 caplets which provide fast-acting relief to the body from pain and inflammation. Nurofen Express caplets are highly recommended for fast pain relief, recommended for adults and children over 12 years. The higher strength formula of Nurofen is suitable for all patients with moderate to severe pain.
This medicine is used for short-term relief and it should not be used for more than three days. If your pain persists while taking these caplets, discontinue the tablets and speak to your doctor for better advice.
How does Nurofen Express work?
Each caplet of Nurofen Express contains the active ingredient ibuprofen lysine which is a fast-acting form of traditional Ibuprofen and helps to relieve pain quickly. Ibuprofen is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) administered for the purpose of reducing the pain and swelling by limiting the hormones that cause that pain.
This medicine breaks down fast in the body and is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, due to which it reaches the pain source more quickly. It takes 10 minutes to start its functions and provides relief from pain for up to 8 hours.
Nurofen Express Caplets contain ibuprofen lysine so it should not be taken with any other medicines/drug that also contain these ingredients, such as aspirin.
