How Does Brufen 400mg Work?
Ibuprofen blocks COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that produce prostaglandins — the chemicals in your body responsible for causing pain, fever, and inflammation. With a 400mg dose, the effect is stronger and works well for moderate-to-severe everyday pain. Relief usually begins within 30 to 60 minutes of taking the tablet.
Dosage
The usual adult dose is 400mg taken 3 times daily with food or milk — leaving at least 6 hours between doses. Do not exceed 1200mg in 24 hours unless advised by your doctor. Always use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary.
Active Ingredient
Ibuprofen 400mg per tablet.
Who Should NOT Use Brufen 400mg?
Avoid if you have a stomach ulcer, severe kidney or liver disease, heart failure, or a known allergy to ibuprofen or any NSAID. Do not take during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Speak to your doctor first if you have asthma, high blood pressure, or are currently taking blood thinners or aspirin.
Side Effects
Common: stomach upset, nausea, or heartburn — always take with food to reduce this risk.
Serious (rare): stomach bleeding, kidney problems, or severe allergic reaction — stop immediately and seek urgent medical help if you notice black or tarry stools, facial swelling, chest pain, or difficulty breathing.
Storage
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children (بچوں کی پہنچ سے دور رکھیں). Do not use after the expiry date on the packaging.
