Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Pain Relief used for?+
Nurofen Pain Relief contains ibuprofen and is indicated for the temporary relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental discomfort, muscle aches, joint pain, and menstrual cramps. It is also used to reduce fever associated with common infections.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen works by reversibly blocking the cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2. This inhibition reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, inflammation and fever, thereby providing analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects.
What is the usual dose of ibuprofen?+
The appropriate dose of ibuprofen is determined by a qualified prescriber based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition and response to therapy. Dosage instructions are provided on the prescription label and should be followed exactly.
Is ibuprofen safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ibuprofen should be avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy because it may affect fetal cardiovascular development. During the first and second trimesters, use only if clearly needed and prescribed. It is excreted in breast‑milk; short‑term use is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding, but a healthcare professional should be consulted.
How do I order Nurofen Pain Relief from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and the necessary import documentation.
How does Nurofen compare with other analgesics like paracetamol?+
Both ibuprofen (Nurofen) and paracetamol are effective for mild to moderate pain, but ibuprofen additionally offers anti‑inflammatory and antipyretic actions. Paracetamol lacks significant anti‑inflammatory activity and is generally gentler on the stomach, whereas ibuprofen may cause gastrointestinal irritation but provides stronger relief for inflammatory pain.
How should Nurofen be stored and handled?+
Store Nurofen tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Do not store in a bathroom or near a heat source, and keep out of reach of children.
How is Nurofen administered?+
Nurofen is supplied as oral tablets that should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food; taking it with food or milk may reduce stomach upset. Do not crush, chew, or dissolve the tablets unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks associated with ibuprofen?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, especially with high doses or prolonged use; renal impairment that may manifest as reduced urine output or swelling; and severe allergic reactions such as angio‑edema or anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use ibuprofen?+
Ibuprofen is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer disease, patients in the third trimester of pregnancy, and people with severe uncontrolled heart failure or severe renal impairment. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential before use in these groups.
