Advantages: Very powerful

Disadvantages: A little drowsy afterwards

I recently had a stupid fall downstairs, about 7 feet onto a concrete floor and fortunately didn't manage to break anything but have received some very heavy bruising and otherwise battered bodyparts.

At home I was lucky enough to already have several strips of these ibuprofen tablets, in the 400mg variety. Although limited to one tablet three times a day these tablets are very effective indeed, having spent two days on high strength cocodamol and 100mg ibuprofen I switched over to these and these alone and found that after a little over half an hour the tablets had kicked in to the point where I was feeling little pain and could actually move my body in ways that I hadn't been able to since the fall. After about 8 hours I needed to take another dose, but given that these are three a day that sounds like a good dose of pain relief to me. Although they have made me a little drowsy the effects haven't been significant and I could quite easily put this down to my lack of tolerance for painkillers.

All in all a very effective little pill, but probably worth steering clear of if you have to work or drive.

Summary: If you have a bad back, well worth a look.
