Product Description
Nurofen Express 256mg Sodium Ibuprofen 16 Tablets
Nurofen Express 256mg Tablets are specially formulated to provide rapid, targeted relief from acute pain and inflammation. Containing active sodium ibuprofen (256mg Sodium Ibuprofen dihydrate, equivalent to 200mg standard ibuprofen), nurofen express breaks down quickly in the stomach and absorbs up to twice as fast as standard ibuprofen tablets.
Designed for targeted pain relief, nurofen express 256mg treats headaches, migraines, dental pain, period pain, backache, muscular aches, and fever symptoms. Choosing nurofen express 16 tablets ensures fast-acting, portable pain relief when you need quick, effective results.
Key Features:
- Twice as Fast Absorption: Sodium ibuprofen salt breaks down rapidly to provide faster pain relief than standard ibuprofen tablets.
- Targeted Pain Relief: Directly targets the site of pain to soothe headaches, toothaches, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and rheumatic aches.
- Reduces Fever & Inflammation: Effectively lowers high temperatures and calms localized swelling.
- Codeine-Free Formula: Contains no codeine, preventing risk of opioid dependency or drowsiness.
- 16-Tablet Pack Size: Compact blister pack designed for on-the-go pain management.
Fast Absorption & Cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibition:
Nurofen Express delivers accelerated anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapeutic action:
- Enhanced Dissolution via Sodium Salt: Sodium Ibuprofen dihydrate exhibits superior water solubility compared to free-acid ibuprofen. This allows rapid dissolution in gastric fluids and accelerated passage into the small intestine for swift systemic absorption.
- 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 nociceptive pain signals and peripheral inflammation.
