Nurofen (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen works by blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes. This inhibition reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers that cause pain, fever, and inflammation at the site of tissue injury.

The appropriate dose of Nurofen is determined by a prescriber or healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, medical condition, and the severity of symptoms. The product label provides dosing ranges, but the final regimen should always follow professional guidance.

Safety of ibuprofen during pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It is generally avoided in the third trimester because of potential fetal risks. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare provider before using Nurofen, as ibuprofen can pass into breast milk in small amounts.

To order Nurofen, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, confirming trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

Both Nurofen (ibuprofen) and acetaminophen relieve pain and reduce fever, but they belong to different drug classes. Ibuprofen also has anti‑inflammatory properties and can affect platelet function, while acetaminophen lacks significant anti‑inflammatory action and has a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation. Choice depends on the clinical situation and patient tolerance.

Nurofen tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in their original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not store in bathrooms or near heat sources.

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

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, kidney injury, liver dysfunction, and increased cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, especially with high‑dose or prolonged use. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of these conditions.

Nurofen should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe renal or hepatic impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, or a history of cardiovascular disease without medical advice. Pregnant women in the third trimester and children under the recommended age should also not use it without professional guidance.
