Nurofen Express (Ibuprofen Sodium Dihydrate)

Ibuprofen blocks the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for producing prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it reduces inflammation, pain signalling, and the hypothalamic set‑point that controls body temperature, providing analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects.

The exact dose of Nurofen Express is determined by a healthcare professional or according to the product label. For over‑the‑counter use, adults typically take the recommended amount every 4‑6 hours, not exceeding the maximum daily limit, but the prescriber or label should be consulted for precise guidance.

Safety data for ibuprofen in pregnancy are limited, especially in the third trimester, and it may affect fetal development. Breastfeeding mothers should also exercise caution as ibuprofen can pass into milk. Consultation with a physician or obstetrician is essential before use in these situations.

The most common alternative for similar indications is paracetamol (acetaminophen). While both relieve pain and fever, ibuprofen additionally provides anti‑inflammatory action. Ibuprofen may be more effective for inflammatory pain, but it carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects compared with paracetamol.

Store Nurofen Express at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the label.

Nurofen Express is taken orally with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may reduce stomach irritation. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless the product label specifically permits it.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, liver injury, acute kidney damage, and rare skin conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of bleeding, rash, swelling, or sudden loss of kidney function.

People with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, significant kidney or liver disease, or those in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid Nurofen Express. A healthcare professional should evaluate suitability for all other individuals.
