I have always been one of those people that would rather die than take a tablet for any of my illnesses and although I am still rather reluctant these days, I do actually take one or two if I need to. You see have I two young boys under the age of two and half so if I get a headache then I just can't cope with having a thudding head and meeting my boys needs at the same time. Thats where these tablets come in. You buy Asda Ibuprofen in in tablet or caplet form and there are 16 tablets in the box which pop out of a plastic holder. Each tablet contains 200mg of Ibrupofen and I am not entirely sure how much they cost as I tend to buy a couple of packs everytime I ...  Read the complete review

This review is on Asda Ibuprofen Tablets and not the Capsules as are indicated in the picture above. I often get bad headaches, probably due to my excessive use of the computer and watching TV! I know it's bad but I do take painkillers quite regularly to get rid of these annoying aches and pains and the branded ones are just too expensive when I get through so many. I never used to be able to swallow pills but I've gradually got used to the smaller ones. I still can't take capsules or bigger pills though which is why these tablets are great for me - they are very small, smooth and perfectly easy to swallow with a quick sip of water. I can't say I've ...  Read the complete review

I suffer from quite bad tooth aches recently (mainly due to a wisdom tooth coming in) and I normally combine one of these with one paracetemol to help try and clear the pain. I purchased 16 caplets for 30g from Asda recently, in the Chemist section, and whilst I normally wouldn't scrimp on medicines I felt that it was certainly worth a try, I mean what exactly can the difference be?! The caplets are provided in a cardboard box which contains two strips of 8 tablets as well an instruction leaflet advising of the ingredients and how many to take, how often to take them etc. The caplets are very easy to pop out of the strip and even though I sometimes ...  Read the complete review

The product I am reviweing comes under this category but it is not the same as the product pictured, as the ones I buy have the colourful plastic coating. The box pictured shows the 200mg Caplets whereas I am talking about the 200mg Capsules. The difference is that the caplets are just the chalky white tablet (which if you don't manage to swallow on your first attempt will start to dissolve giving off an awful taste) whereas the capsules do not because the plastic stops this from happening. I would recommend purchasing the capsules if you struggle to swallow tablets. They are 90-something pence (sorry, the actual price escapes me) so you do pay quite a bit ...  Read the complete review
