Nurofen Smelttabletten (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to provide analgesic and antipyretic effects.

• Headache: helps reduce pain intensity and associated discomfort.
• Dental pain: alleviates pain following dental procedures or toothache.
• Musculoskeletal pain: eases aches from strains, sprains and minor joint inflammation.
• Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile conditions.
• Menstrual discomfort: reduces cramps and lower‑back pain linked to menstruation.

• Ibuprofen inhibits cyclo‑oxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, decreasing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation, pain and fever. This reduction in prostaglandin levels dampens peripheral nociceptor sensitisation and lowers the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature regulation.

Adverse reactions may vary in frequency and severity.
