Description: Nurofen 200mg Caplets contain Ibuprofen, a powerful Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) that works at the site of pain. It functions by inhibiting the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for producing prostaglandins—the chemicals in the body that signal pain and cause inflammation. The caplet shape is specially designed to be easy to swallow, providing effective relief from various types of aches while also helping to reduce fever.
In Nigeria, Nurofen is a premium clinical choice for managing acute pain and inflammatory conditions. It is available through authorized health providers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive genuine, properly stored medication that maintains its full analgesic potency and safety profile.
Important: Nurofen should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. Prolonged use or high doses can increase the risk of stomach ulcers or cardiovascular issues. Do not take this medication if you have a history of stomach bleeding, severe heart failure, or if you are in the last three months of pregnancy. Always take with food or a glass of milk to protect your stomach lining.

Can I take Nurofen with Paracetamol?
Yes. Since they work in different ways, it is generally safe to take Nurofen and Paracetamol together or alternately, provided you do not exceed the daily limit for either. This is often effective for severe pain.
Is Nurofen safe for asthma sufferers?
In some people with asthma, NSAIDs like Ibuprofen can trigger a "flare-up" or breathing difficulty. If you have noticed that aspirin or other painkillers make your asthma worse, you should avoid Nurofen.
Can I take this if I am pregnant?
You should avoid Nurofen during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless specifically told otherwise by your doctor. It must not be taken during the last 3 months, as it can cause heart and lung issues for the baby.
