Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Ibuprofen acts on the cyclooxygenase pathway to reduce prostaglandin-mediated pain and inflammation.
  • Period pain: provides targeted relief from menstrual cramps.
  • Menstrual cramps: reduces intensity and duration of cramp-related discomfort.
  • Mild to moderate pain: alleviates general aches such as headache, toothache, or musculoskeletal pain.

How It Works

  • Ibuprofen inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, which decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it reduces peripheral sensitization of nociceptors and diminishes the inflammatory response, resulting in analgesic and antipyretic effects.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Stomach upset or heartburn
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Dizziness or light‑headedness
  • Headache
  • Mild skin rash
  • Diarrhoea

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis, angioedema)
  • Liver enzyme elevation or hepatitis
  • Kidney impairment or failure
  • Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome
  • Cardiovascular events (e.g., hypertension, heart failure exacerbation)

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before using ibuprofen, consider the following precautions.
  • Assess medical history: check for ulcers, heart disease, kidney or liver disorders.
  • Avoid in known hypersensitivity: do not use if allergic to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs.
  • Use lowest effective dose: limit duration and dose to the minimum needed for symptom control.
  • Monitor for signs of GI bleeding: report black stools or vomiting blood promptly.
  • Avoid concurrent anticoagulant use unless directed by a clinician.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines, requiring caution.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding.
  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: potential reduction in renal function.
  • Lithium: elevated lithium serum levels.
  • Methotrexate: heightened toxicity risk.
  • SSRIs or SNRIs: amplified bleeding tendency.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Diuretics: possible renal effects.
  • Beta‑blockers: may diminish antihypertensive response.
  • Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nurofen Express Period Pain is an over‑the‑counter ibuprofen product indicated for the relief of period pain, menstrual cramps, and other mild to moderate pain such as headache or toothache in women.

Ibuprofen blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX‑1 and COX‑2), which reduces the formation of prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. This inhibition leads to decreased sensitisation of pain receptors and a reduction in inflammatory swelling.

The appropriate dose is determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual's age, weight, and clinical need. Patients should follow the prescriber's instructions and the product label, and not exceed the recommended maximum daily amount.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. It should only be used if the potential benefit outweighs the risk, and only after consulting a qualified healthcare provider.

GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, confirming trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Nurofen Express, is an NSAID that provides both analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects, whereas acetaminophen offers pain relief and fever reduction without significant anti‑inflammatory activity. Ibuprofen may be preferred when inflammation contributes to the discomfort.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in the original packaging, and protect them from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain product stability.

The product is taken orally as a tablet, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with food or a milky drink to minimise possible stomach irritation.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer formation, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, kidney impairment, and rare but severe skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these occur.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, significant renal or hepatic impairment, or those in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid using this product unless directed by a healthcare professional.
