Treatment Information
Overview
Nurofen Plus dual action formula is designed to manage severe to moderate pain. Its two active ingredients in its dual action formula, ibuprofen and codeine, provide fast-acting pain relief caused by various conditions, such as rheumatic and muscular pain, cold and flu symptoms, migraines, headaches, period pain, and dental pain. Nurofen Plus is suitable in all those situations where other painkillers fail to work.
