Nurofen (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen works by non‑selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish pain signaling, lower body temperature, and lessen inflammatory responses.

The appropriate dose of Nurofen is determined by a prescriber or according to the product label. Dosage depends on the patient's age, weight, clinical condition, and local regulatory guidance, and should never exceed the recommended maximum.

Ibuprofen is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because it may affect fetal cardiovascular function. Use during early pregnancy or while breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare professional, who can weigh potential benefits against risks.

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

Nurofen (ibuprofen) shares the same class mechanism as other NSAIDs such as naproxen or diclofenac, but it has a relatively short half‑life and a well‑established safety profile for short‑term use. Choice among NSAIDs often depends on individual tolerability, dosing frequency, and specific clinical considerations.

Nurofen tablets should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in their original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

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 irritation. Swallow tablets 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 toxicity, and increased cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, especially with prolonged or high‑dose use.

Nurofen should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and during the third trimester of pregnancy unless advised by a physician.
