What is Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Nurofen Meltlets Mint, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral soluble tablet (meltlet) for oral use. It is used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and lessen inflammation in a wide range of mild to moderate conditions.

GNH USA supplies Nurofen Meltlets Mint as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to provide relief from pain, fever, and swelling.

- Headache: reduces pain and discomfort associated with tension or vascular headaches. - Dental pain: alleviates postoperative or toothache discomfort. - Muscular pain: eases soreness and stiffness after strain or over‑use. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in acute febrile states. - Menstrual cramps: diminishes uterine cramp pain during menstruation.

What precautions apply to Ibuprofen?

When using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess medical history: check for ulcers, kidney disease, or cardiovascular risk. - Avoid in late pregnancy: contraindicated during the third trimester. - Use lowest effective dose: limit exposure to the minimum amount needed for relief. - Do not combine with other NSAIDs or aspirin: increases risk of adverse effects. - Monitor for signs of GI bleeding: seek medical attention for blood in stool or vomit. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Meltlets Mint used for?+
Nurofen Meltlets Mint contains ibuprofen and is intended to provide temporary relief of mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and lessen inflammation. It is commonly used for headaches, dental discomfort, muscular aches, fever associated with colds, and menstrual cramps. The product is an over‑the‑counter option for adults and children when appropriate dosing is determined by a healthcare professional.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen works by blocking the activity of cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, which are required for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that promote inflammation, pain signaling, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, ibuprofen diminishes these physiological responses, leading to relief of pain, lowered temperature, and decreased swelling.
What is the usual dose of Nurofen Meltlets Mint?+
The appropriate dose of Nurofen Meltlets Mint is set by a prescriber or according to the product labeling for the specific age group and indication. Dosage depends on factors such as the severity of symptoms, patient weight, and any existing medical conditions. Patients should follow the guidance provided by their healthcare professional or the instructions on the package.
Is Nurofen Meltlets Mint safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ibuprofen is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because of potential risks to the fetus and labor. Use earlier in pregnancy only if clearly needed and after consulting a healthcare provider. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, ibuprofen is excreted in small amounts in breast milk; most clinicians consider short‑term use compatible with nursing when advised by a physician.
How do I order Nurofen Meltlets Mint from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity of Nurofen Meltlets Mint. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials. After confirmation, the sales team provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Nurofen Meltlets Mint compare with other ibuprofen products or alternative NSAIDs?+
Nurofen Meltlets Mint offers an oral soluble tablet that dissolves quickly in the mouth, providing rapid onset of action compared with standard tablets that require swallowing. Its mint flavor may improve palatability. Compared with other NSAIDs such as naproxen or diclofenac, ibuprofen has a shorter half‑life, which can be advantageous for intermittent dosing but may require more frequent administration for sustained effect.
How should Nurofen Meltlets Mint be stored and handled?+
Store Nurofen Meltlets Mint at room temperature, ideally below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing it in bathrooms or near heat sources. Do not use the meltlets if the packaging is damaged or if the tablets appear discoloured.
How is Nurofen Meltlets Mint administered?+
Nurofen Meltlets Mint is taken orally. The meltlet is placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely without the need for water. Once dissolved, the patient may swallow any remaining residue. Administration should follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional or the product label, and the meltlet should not be chewed or crushed before dissolution.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nurofen Meltlets Mint?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, especially in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or those taking anticoagulants. Cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke may be heightened with prolonged high‑dose use. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and kidney or liver impairment are also possible. Patients experiencing any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Nurofen Meltlets Mint?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs should avoid Nurofen Meltlets Mint. It is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy, in patients with active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer disease, and in those with severe heart, liver, or kidney failure unless directed by a physician. Children under the recommended age limit on the label should also not use the product.
