About the product
Nurofen Migraine Pain Relief 342mg caplets contain ibuprofen lysine, a faster-absorbing form of ibuprofen designed to quickly relieve migraine headaches and their associated symptoms, such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it works by reducing the production of prostaglandins - chemicals that trigger pain, inflammation, and swelling. This helps ease the intensity of migraine attacks and improve daily functioning. The caplets are usually taken with water, and for best effect, should be taken at the first sign of migraine symptoms. They are intended for short-term use to manage acute migraine episodes.
