This product contains Ibuprofen which belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Like other NSAIDs, Ibuprofen works by changing the body’s chemical response to pain, swelling and fever resulting in relief of symptoms of inflammation (e.g., swelling, redness) and relief of pain and/or fever.

Ibuprofen given as a softgel capsule is absorbed more rapidly by the body compared to an ordinary tablet.

Like other NSAIDs, the lowest effective dose of ibuprofen should be used for the shortest possible time. This medicine is given orally and may be taken with food or milk if stomach upset occurs.

Adults and children 12 years old and above: One softgel capsule up to 3 times a day, as needed. Leave at least 4 hours between each dose. Alternatively, you may take one softgel capsule every 8 hours, as needed.

Or, as prescribed by a doctor.

* Do not take more than 3 softgel capsules (1,200 mg) in each 24-hour period.

* Do not take this medicine continuously for more than 10 days unless directed by a doctor.
