What is Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It reduces pain, fever, and inflammation and is commonly used in adults and children over a specified age for a variety of short‑term discomforts. Ibuprofen works by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, thereby decreasing prostaglandin synthesis which mediates pain and swelling. The formulation is designed for prolonged release, providing extended relief from mild to moderate pain associated with conditions such as headache, dental procedures, menstrual cramps, and musculoskeletal strain.

GNH USA supplies Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief used for?+
It is an ibuprofen‑based oral tablet indicated for the temporary relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of fever, and alleviation of inflammation associated with conditions such as headache, dental discomfort, menstrual cramps, and musculoskeletal aches. It is intended for short‑term use under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
How does ibuprofen work in this product?+
Ibuprofen inhibits the cyclo‑oxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes that convert arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, it diminishes the inflammatory response, lowers pain‑signal transmission, and helps regulate body temperature, thereby providing analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.
What is the usual dose of Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief?+
The specific dose and dosing interval are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, medical condition, and response to therapy. Healthcare providers select the appropriate strength and frequency in accordance with local prescribing guidelines and product labeling.
Is Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ibuprofen is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because it may affect fetal cardiovascular function. Use during the first two trimesters should only occur if the potential benefit outweighs the risk and under medical supervision. While small amounts are excreted in breast milk, nursing mothers should consult a healthcare professional before use.

How does this ibuprofen product compare with other pain‑relief options?+
Compared with acetaminophen, ibuprofen provides both analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects, making it more suitable for conditions involving inflammation. Relative to other NSAIDs, its safety profile is well‑characterized, though it shares similar gastrointestinal and renal considerations. Choice of therapy depends on individual patient factors, contraindications, and clinician preference.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief?+
The tablets should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in their original packaging to protect them from moisture, light, and excessive heat. Keeping the product in a dry, cool place helps maintain potency and ensures the extended‑release formulation remains effective throughout its shelf life.
How is Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief administered?+
The medication is taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably after a meal or with food to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. Patients should swallow the tablet whole and not split, crush, or chew it, as this could compromise the controlled‑release mechanism and alter the intended dosing profile.
What are the most serious risks associated with ibuprofen use?+
Serious adverse events, although uncommon, include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, kidney injury, and cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, particularly with high‑dose or prolonged use. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, or sudden swelling.
Who should not use Nurofen Long Lasting Pain Relief?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer disease, patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment, and women in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid this product. Additionally, it is contraindicated in patients taking anticoagulants where bleeding risk is heightened unless specifically advised by a physician.
