Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Pharmacy Only used for?+
Nurofen Pharmacy Only contains ibuprofen, an NSAID that is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and lessen inflammation associated with conditions such as headaches, musculoskeletal aches, menstrual cramps, and dental discomfort.
How does ibuprofen work in the body?+
Ibuprofen works by non‑selectively blocking the COX‑1 and COX‑2 enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels decrease inflammation, lower body temperature, and diminish the perception of pain.
What is the usual dose of Nurofen Pharmacy Only?+
The appropriate dose of Nurofen Pharmacy Only is determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, weight, condition, and response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.
