Description
Ibuprofen 400mg Tablets offer powerful, fast-acting relief from a wide range of moderate pain and inflammation. These tablets contain 400mg of ibuprofen, a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This medicine is ideal for treating symptoms such as muscular pain, period cramps, dental pain, rheumatic discomfort, headaches, and fever.
At 400mg strength, ibuprofen delivers more intensive pain relief than lower-dose options. It is classified as a Pharmacy (P) medicine, meaning you can purchase it without a prescription—but only after consulting a pharmacist. This ensures safe use, especially if you’re managing other health conditions or taking additional medications.
How It Works
Ibuprofen works by blocking enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins—natural substances in the body that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. When fewer prostaglandins are produced, you experience less discomfort and reduced inflammation. The tablets begin working within 30 minutes and provide relief for up to 6 hours.
Why Choose Ibuprofen 400mg
Many people choose ibuprofen 400mg when standard doses aren’t strong enough. This strength is often recommended for individuals with more intense or persistent pain that interrupts daily activities. Its anti-inflammatory effects are particularly helpful for joint pain, back pain, or post-surgical discomfort. Despite its strength, it remains well-tolerated for short-term use when taken as directed.
This version of ibuprofen offers a good balance between effective pain relief and safety. You don’t need a prescription, but the guidance of a pharmacist ensures responsible use. This is especially important for people with pre-existing health concerns or those on long-term medications.
If your pain persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further advice. Never exceed the recommended dose, and always take ibuprofen with food or after meals to protect your stomach lining.
