Nurofen (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen in Nurofen works by blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for producing prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin levels, the medication diminishes pain signals, lowers body temperature, and lessens inflammation at the site of application.

The specific amount of Nurofen to apply is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the condition being treated, the patient’s age, and the size of the affected area. Users should follow the instructions provided by their clinician or the product label.

The safety of topical ibuprofen during pregnancy or lactation has not been definitively established. It should only be used if a healthcare provider deems it necessary after weighing potential risks and benefits. Women who are pregnant or nursing should discuss alternatives with their doctor.

Nurofen delivers ibuprofen directly to the skin, providing localized relief with lower systemic exposure compared with oral tablets. This can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, but it may be less suitable for widespread pain that requires systemic treatment. Choice depends on the clinical situation and patient preference.

Store Nurofen at room temperature, ideally below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure it is out of reach of children.

Nurofen is applied topically to clean, dry skin. A thin layer is spread over the affected area, gently massaged until absorbed, and the area is left uncovered unless otherwise directed. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, skin conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, liver injury, kidney impairment, cardiovascular events, and gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. Users should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or unexplained abdominal pain.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or those in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid Nurofen unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.
