Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Xpress used for?+
Nurofen Xpress contains ibuprofen sodium, an NSAID indicated for the short‑term relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental discomfort, musculoskeletal aches, and for the reduction of fever in adults and children when appropriate.
How does ibuprofen work to relieve pain and fever?+
Ibuprofen sodium is converted to ibuprofen in the body, which reversibly blocks cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclo‑oxygenase‑2 enzymes. This reduces the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that promote inflammation, pain signalling and fever, thereby providing symptomatic relief.
What is the usual dose of Nurofen Xpress?+
The dose of Nurofen Xpress is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition and local guidelines. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
