How it works

Numark Ibuprofen 200mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of prostaglandins: chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing these chemicals, ibuprofen helps to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and bring down fever. It’s commonly used to treat conditions like headaches, period pain, muscle aches, and mild arthritis.
