Nurofen Express 684mg Caplets

Nurofen Express 684mg Caplets provide fast, effective relief from headaches and migraine pain in just one caplet. They contain a form of ibuprofen which breaks down easily in the body, making it easier for the body to absorb it into the bloodstream so it can get to the source of pain quickly.

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and works by changing the body's response to pain, swelling and high temperature.

  • Take one caplet with water, up to three times a day as required.
  • Leave at least 4 hours between doses.
  • Do not take more than three caplets in any 24 hour period.
If symptoms persist or worsen or if the product is required for more than 3 days for 12-18 year olds or 10 days for adults, consult a doctor.
