Fast Absorption & Cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibition:
Nurofen Express Caplets deliver rapid anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving action:
- Enhanced Dissolution via Sodium Salt: Sodium Ibuprofen dihydrate demonstrates significantly higher water solubility than standard free-acid ibuprofen. This enables rapid breakdown in gastric juices and accelerated transport into the small intestine for fast systemic uptake.
- Reversible Inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis: Once absorbed, ibuprofen reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. This blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid into pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, blunting pain signals and localized swelling.
