Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen Pain Relief:

This ibuprofen collection brings together a focused range of over-the-counter pain relief products in several formats, including standard tablets, liquid capsules, chewable children’s capsules and topical ibuprofen gel. Brands represented include Nurofen, Advil, Health Direct, Nuromol, Maxigesic and Deep Heat, with both ibuprofen-only products and combination formulas containing ibuprofen with paracetamol.

Ibuprofen Tablets & Liquid Capsules:

For general pain relief, the range includes ibuprofen tablets and 200mg liquid capsules in pack sizes such as 12, 20 and 24. Products in this category are intended for temporary relief from common types of mild to moderate pain, with individual product information covering uses such as headaches, muscle pain, back pain, period pain, dental pain, arthritis pain and discomfort associated with colds and flu. Selected ibuprofen products also provide fever relief.

Liquid-filled capsules are available from brands including Advil and Health Direct, providing an alternative format for shoppers who prefer capsules to conventional tablets.

Ibuprofen & Paracetamol Combination Pain Relief:

The collection also includes dual-action pain relief products that combine ibuprofen with paracetamol. Options from Nuromol, Health Direct and Maxigesic are available in tablet or liquid-capsule formats and different pack sizes. These products should be selected carefully to avoid unintentionally taking additional medicines containing the same active ingredients.

Children’s Ibuprofen & Topical Gel:

For children aged 7 years and over, the collection includes Nurofen soft chewable ibuprofen capsules with an orange flavour. These are designed to be chewed without water and are specifically labelled for temporary pain and fever relief in this age group.

For targeted muscular discomfort, there is also a 50g Deep Heat ibuprofen gel. This topical format is designed for application to the affected area and is intended for temporary relief of muscular pain, sprains and acute soft-tissue injuries.

Choosing an Ibuprofen Product:

Check the active ingredients, strength, dosage form and age suitability before choosing. Always read the product label and follow the directions for use, as ibuprofen and combination pain-relief medicines may not be suitable for everyone.
