Description
Ibuprofen 200mg tablets are a reliable and widely used over-the-counter medication to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. This non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is ideal for treating mild to moderate pain, including headaches, toothache, muscular pain, period pain, and fever associated with colds and flu. Its fast-acting formula ensures quick relief, helping you get back to your day with ease.
How It Works
Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. By inhibiting these substances, it effectively reduces discomfort and helps alleviate symptoms associated with various conditions.
