Nurofen Reviews

It's a sad fact of life that we feel pain, becuase if we didn't we'd all be sticking our hands in fires and beating ourselves with wooden mallets. Well, I would anyway. As useful as pain is it does have one downside: we can't switch it off, which is why drugs like Nurofen exist. Nurofen is a brand name for Ibuprofen, a reasonably ...  Read the complete review

I don't know about you but I seem to be reaching for painkillers often enough, whether for a headache, backache, cold, or anything else and I'm also searching for one that will get rid of the pain quickly, for a long time and without side effects. Nurofen is a brand name, not the name of the drug that kills the pain. I think the drug ...  Read the complete review

Nurofen Plus is one of the strongest painkillers available over the counter, containing both ibuprofen and 12.8mg of codeine phosphate. It works really well, and as far as I am aware the same combination of drugs is not available to buy in a cheaper generic form. They are great to use if you are in a lot of pain, from say toothache and other OTC ...  Read the complete review

Nurofen are a painkiller brand, who sell a variety of painkillers, such as 'fast relief' etc. In my review, I'm just going to talk about the standard Nurofen. Avaliability - from most supermarkets, chemists, newsagents, and drugstores. There may be limits on how many packs you can buy at one time. Price - around 2.50 a box, ...  Read the complete review

Now I always used to be the sort of person who tries shrug off pain without medication. If I had a headache I'd lie down and take a nap. If I had backache, I'd take a hot bath. That was until I started getting really bad period pains. The sort where I'd be physically sick from the amount of pain I was in. So one day after nearly ...  Read the complete review

Recent dental pain introduced me to Nurofen Plus, an extra-strength painkiller available from the pharmacist when ordinary painkillers wont do. The active ingredients are 200mg of Ibuprofen and 12.8mg of Codeine Phosphate (the maximum permissible without prescription) and it is the Codeine that really gives Nurofen Plus its added strength. The ...  Read the complete review

It's been hard to know which Nurofen category to put their cool pack in, I finally decided to place it under Over The Counter Remedies and pain relief as that is exactly what it is!! At the back of my fridge, lurking behind the mayonnaise and the sticky jar of jam is a Nurofen cool pack. It is, exactly as the name suggests, a cool ...  Read the complete review

I normally shun brand name medicines as they often do not contain anything over and above their straightforward counterparts. One exception to this rule are Nurofen Meltlets which were launched in April 2000. These are pain killers that are designed to be taken without water. Unlike ordinary tablets they are self-dissolving and the ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT? Nurofen (Generic name Ibuprofen) belongs to a group of drugs known as NSAID's (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), and has similar properties to Aspirin, but is apparently not as harsh on the stomach. Aspirin and Ibuprofen MUST never be combined as it will increase the risk of stomach bleeds. Users should be wary ...  Read the complete review

When you are out in the car, in town or in the train.... Isn't it painful enough to have a head ache or some pains, without having the aggravation of swallowing a dry bitter tablet that just won't go down because there is no water whatsoever anywhere near by? I find that quite painful but at least now I have a choice. I ...  Read the complete review

I took Nurofen a few years ago, when I was living at home with my parents during my wilderness years. I had a severe headache, and found them in the back of the bathroom cabinet - my big brother had left them behind. I read the side of the packet, and read through the leaflet that came with them. I took two tablets. I waited ...  Read the complete review

I swear by Nurofen Ibuprofen tablets for any kind of pain. Last month when I was out shopping I started with a very bad headache, I reached in my bag for the trusted tablets. The packet was empty. So I went into a local store in search of some relief. There were no Nurofen tablets to be found, only the new Meltlets by Nurofen. The ...  Read the complete review

Did you know that Nurofen is the same of Ibuprofen? It acts as a pain killer and anti inflamatory. Useful for sprains, sore throats, earache, toothache, etc,unless you are asthmatic.
