As you may know from some of my other reviews I am a firm believer in buying 'own brand' painkillers for a few pence rather than spending a few pounds on the brand names and getting pretty much the same thing. I am now about to tell you that I have found an exception to that rule. The exception for me is Nurofen Express 200mg Liquid Capsules which contain Ibuprofen. The reason that I even tried these was the fact that I had toothache a couple of months ago which was caused by an abscess underneath the tooth. As any of you will know this HURTS! I was taking the Paracetemol and was still in so much pain that Dave (hubby) rang the out of hours doctor ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to pain relief, I usually buy supermarket own brands because I've never really seen the point in paying over the odds. I purchased these branded ibuprofen tablets a couple of weeks ago when I was on my period, because the tablets that I had weren't strong enough. The claim that these 'target pain fast' really appealed to me and despite the pretty hefty price tag of £8.19 for a pack of 20 tablets, I decided to buy a pack. There are also larger packs of 30 and 24 available, although as I bought these solely for period pain, a pack of 20 is enough to keep me going for at least a few months. These 400mg ibuprofen tablets provide rapid relief from a ...  Read the complete review

After years of my partner suffering with sciatica and being put off using any more prescription pain killers (which were too strong with horrible side effects) me and my partner decided to get some off of the supermarket shelf. We bought various different brands and strengths eventually turning to nurofen express. These pain killers were without a doubt the best out of the basket full we bought. They are not miracle drugs, but provide my partner with quick relief for bad sciatica and back pain. He recommends these pain killers to everyone who is suffering any form of pain and everyone we have suggested them to has been pleasantly surprised. For years I have ...  Read the complete review

I am one of them types who prefer to ride through pain rather than take painkillers, yet there is always times when I need to pop a pill. Having suffered various injuries that have taken a small toll on my body I do find every now and then the pain gets impractical preventing me from walking properly or seeing straight. At this point (hopefully beforehand) I give in and take my medicine. Whenever I am getting a migraine I tend to take medicine as quickly as possible as I hate the woozyness and sickness that follows, plus sometimes lack of sight. For this I need quick relief from the pain. Due to this I usually take alternative pain killers but as this ...  Read the complete review

I think a lot of people have trouble with headaches and migraines or pain like in the back. I have taken Nurofen before as a normal pain killer and was very interested when I saw this one. I try not to use them for headache because I do find them too strong but for pain in mine back they are perfect to use. I don't know if you had back pain ever in your life but I can tell you it's certainly not something you want to have. The pain can differ from being annoying and not being able to move at all. Luckily I'm normally in between that and most of the time it's just annoying. It's like an acing pain but nothing I can't handle. I got ...  Read the complete review
