Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu used for?+
Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu is formulated to provide temporary relief of fever, headache, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion that commonly accompany colds and influenza. It combines an NSAID with a nasal decongestant to address both pain and breathing discomfort.
How does ibuprofen work in this product?+
Ibuprofen blocks the cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes (COX‑1 and COX‑2), which reduces the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, ibuprofen helps alleviate pain and reduce elevated body temperature.
What is the usual dose of Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label without exceeding the recommended amount.
Is Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare provider before using this product. Ibuprofen is generally avoided in the third trimester, and phenylephrine may affect uterine blood flow, so professional guidance is essential.
How do I order Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity.

How does Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu compare with other cold‑and‑flu medicines?+
Unlike single‑ingredient products, this formulation combines ibuprofen for pain and fever with phenylephrine for nasal decongestion, offering dual‑action relief. Some alternatives may contain paracetamol or antihistamines, which target different symptom pathways, so choice depends on individual symptom profiles and tolerability.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in their original packaging. Keep them away from moisture, direct sunlight, and out of reach of children to maintain product stability.
How is Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu administered?+
The product is taken orally with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may reduce stomach irritation. Follow the prescriber’s dosing schedule for day and night formulations.
What are the most serious risks associated with this medication?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, liver or kidney impairment, and cardiovascular events like hypertension. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, rash, or difficulty breathing.
Who should not use Nurofen Day & Night Cold & Flu?+
Individuals with a known allergy to ibuprofen, phenylephrine, or any component of the formulation should avoid this product. It is also contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or those taking certain interacting medications without medical supervision.
