Product Description

Nurofen Express 400mg Ibuprofen 10 And 20 Liquid 

Nurofen Express 400mg Liquid Capsules deliver maximum single-dose pain relief in a fast-acting liquid softgel format. Containing 400mg of solubilized ibuprofen per capsule, these extra-strength nurofen liquid capsules are pre-dissolved inside a soft gel casing, allowing the active medication to absorb rapidly into the bloodstream to target pain twice as fast as standard ibuprofen tablets.

Designed for adults requiring high-strength relief, this ibuprofen adult liquid formulation is ideal for severe headaches, migraines, acute dental pain, severe period pain, backache, and rheumatic aches. Whether choosing the portable 10-pack or the 20-pack supply, nurofen express 400mg liquid capsules provide effective, extra-strength pain control when standard doses are not enough.

Key Features:

  • Maximum Strength Single Capsule Dose: Contains 400mg of solubilized ibuprofen per softgel for extra-strength pain relief.
  • Rapid Liquid Absorption: Pre-dissolved liquid ibuprofen breaks down quickly in the stomach for faster systemic absorption.
  • Targeted Multi-Pain Relief: Relieves severe headaches, tension migraines, toothaches, dysmenorrhea, back pain, and cold and flu symptoms.
  • Convenient Capsule Format: Easy-to-swallow liquid softgel eliminating the need to take two standard 200mg capsules at once.
  • Flexible Pack Sizes: Available in convenient 10s and 20s blister packs for targeted pain management.

Fast Absorption & Cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibition:

Nurofen Express 400mg Liquid Capsules provide rapid anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving action:

  • Pre-Dissolved Solubilized State: Unlike traditional solid ibuprofen tablets that require prolonged gastric breakdown, the liquid ibuprofen inside softgel capsules is already in solution. This accelerates stomach emptying and small intestine absorption into the circulation.
  • Reversible Inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis: Once absorbed, ibuprofen reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. This suppresses arachidonic acid conversion into pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, blocking pain transmission and tissue swelling.

Ingredients:

  • Active Ingredient: Solubilized Ibuprofen equivalent to 400mg Ibuprofen per capsule.
  • Inactive Excipients: Macrogol 600, Potassium Hydroxide, Purified Water.
  • Capsule Shell: Gelatin, Sorbitol Liquid, Glycerol, Ponceau 4R (E124), Lecithin, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Titanium Dioxide (E171), Printing Ink.

How to Use:

  • Adults, the Elderly, and Children Aged 12 Years and Over: Swallow 1 capsule with water up to three times daily as needed.
  • Interval: Leave at least 4 hours between doses. Do not take more than 3 capsules (1200mg ibuprofen) in any 24-hour period.
  • Administration: Swallow whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or bite open the softgel. Take with or after food if you have a sensitive stomach.
  • Children Under 12 Years: Not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Nurofen Express 200mg and Nurofen Express 400mg Liquid Capsules?

Nurofen Express 200mg liquid capsules contain a standard dose of 200mg ibuprofen per capsule, whereas Nurofen Express 400mg Liquid Capsules deliver a maximum single-capsule dose of 400mg ibuprofen. The 400mg strength provides extra-strength relief in one convenient softgel for more severe pain or migraines.

What is the recommended dosage for Nurofen Express 400mg Liquid Capsules?

The standard nurofen express dosage for adults and children over 12 years is 1 capsule (400mg) swallowed whole with water. You may repeat the dose every 4 hours if necessary, but do not exceed 3 capsules (1200mg) in any 24-hour period.

How fast do liquid ibuprofen softgels work compared to standard tablets?

Liquid ibuprofen for adults in softgel form is pre-dissolved, allowing it to absorb into the body up to twice as fast as standard solid ibuprofen tablets. Most users experience initial pain relief starting within 20 to 30 minutes.

Can you take Nurofen Express 400mg with paracetamol?

Yes, you can safely combine Nurofen Express 400mg with paracetamol if recommended by a doctor or pharmacist, as they work through different pain-relief pathways. However, do not take it alongside other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as standard ibuprofen, neurofen express 200mg, or naproxen.
