Frequently Asked Questions for Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain Caplets
Further Information
What It Is
Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain is a specialised anti-inflammatory medication designed specifically for migraine relief. It contains Ibuprofen Lysine, a highly soluble form of ibuprofen that the body absorbs more rapidly than standard tablets, making it an ideal choice for the sudden onset of migraine pain.
How It Works
The active ingredient, ibuprofen, belongs to a class of drugs called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins—natural chemicals in the body that signal pain and cause inflammation. By hindering these pathways, Nurofen reduces the swelling of blood vessels and the intense sensitivity associated with migraines.
How to Use
- Adults and Children (12+): Swallow one caplet with water, up to three times a day.
- Timing: Leave at least 4 to 6 hours between each dose.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed three caplets within any 24-hour period.
- Administration: It is highly recommended to take this medication with food or a glass of milk to protect the stomach lining.
- Duration: Do not use for more than 3 consecutive days for teenagers (12–18) or 10 days for adults without consulting a doctor.
Side Effects
Most people can take Nurofen without issues, but some may experience:
- Indigestion, stomach pain, or nausea
- Dizziness or drowsiness
- Headaches
- Heartburn
If you experience severe stomach pain, black tarry stools, or signs of an allergic reaction (such as a skin rash or wheezing), stop taking the medication and seek medical help immediately.
