Ibuprofen 400 mg Film-Coated Tablets (50 pcs) – Anti-Inflammatory

Ibuprofen 400 mg Film-Coated Tablets (50 pcs) – Anti-Inflammatory

Ibuprofen 400 mg Film-Coated Tablets – 50 pcs are a widely used NSAID pain relief medicine formulated to help reduce pain, inflammation and fever in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and above. As a member of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug class, ibuprofen works by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to a decrease in prostaglandin production — the compounds responsible for pain, swelling and fever.

These film-coated tablets are designed for rapid and effective oral absorption and deliver a full 400 mg dose of ibuprofen to help manage a wide range of discomforts — from everyday aches and pains to menstrual cramps and migraine headaches. With a 50-tablet pack, this formulation offers a convenient supply for home and travel first-aid kits and is suitable for occasional symptomatic use when stronger pain control is needed.

How Ibuprofen Works

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or illness and act as chemical messengers that amplify pain signals and trigger inflammatory responses in the body. By inhibiting the COX enzymes that drive prostaglandin production, ibuprofen helps calm inflammation, ease swelling and reduce fever, making it effective for both acute and episodic pain relief.

The film-coated tablet form makes it easy to swallow and suitable for adults and older adolescents. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or after food to help reduce stomach irritation.

Key Benefits

• Effective pain relief: Helps alleviate a wide range of mild to moderate pain including headaches, dental pain, backache and muscle aches.

• Reduces inflammation: Eases inflammatory swelling associated with sprains, strains or soft tissue injuries.

• Fever control: Helps reduce elevated body temperature linked to colds, flu and infections.

• Menstrual pain relief: Provides symptomatic relief from primary dysmenorrhoea (period pain).

• Convenient oral tablets: Film-coated tablets are easy to take and suitable for adults and adolescents.

Indications – When to Use

Ibuprofen 400 mg tablets are commonly used for short-term symptomatic relief of:

• Headache and migraine pain.

• Muscle, joint and back pain including strains or sprains.

• Toothache and post-dental pain.

• Pain and inflammation of arthritic or rheumatic conditions.

• Fever and cold or flu-related symptoms.

• Primary dysmenorrhoea (menstrual cramps).

These tablets are intended for short-term use only and should be taken at the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and need for ongoing care.

How to Take Ibuprofen 400 mg Tablets

Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over (weighing ≥ 40 kg):

• Take 1 tablet (400 mg) with water up to 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) as required.

• Leave at least 4–6 hours between doses and do not exceed 3 tablets (1200 mg) per 24 hours without medical advice.

• Taking the tablet with food or after a meal can help minimize potential stomach discomfort.

• Do not crush or chew the film-coated tablet.

Use this product only as directed and consult a doctor if symptoms continue beyond a few days or if long-term use is anticipated.

Safety & Precautions

Ibuprofen is generally safe when used as directed, but you should be aware of important safety considerations:

• Not suitable for everyone: Do not take ibuprofen if you are allergic to ibuprofen, aspirin or other NSAIDs.

• Short-term use: Use the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms — prolonged or frequent use increases the risk of side effects.

• Gastrointestinal effects: NSAIDs like ibuprofen can cause stomach irritation, ulcers, bleeding or perforation especially on long-term use or in older adults.

• Heart and circulation: Long-term or high-dose use may carry a small increased risk of serious cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack or stroke).

• Kidney and liver: Prolonged use can affect kidney and liver function; consult a doctor if you have existing liver or kidney disease.

• Pregnancy: Avoid in the later stages of pregnancy; consult your healthcare provider before use.

Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are uncertain whether ibuprofen is right for you, especially if you are taking other medications (including blood thinners or corticosteroids) or have chronic health conditions.

Possible Side Effects

Although many users tolerate ibuprofen well when taken as directed, some may experience:

• Gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, indigestion or diarrhoea.

• Headache or dizziness.

• Rare allergic reactions, rash or itching.

• Serious skin reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Seek medical help if you notice severe stomach pain, black or bloody stools, chest pain, shortness of breath or signs of allergic reaction.
