Brufen 200mg Tab Ingredients and Usage
Brufen 200mg Tablets are one of the most trusted and widely used pain relievers globally. Containing Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), Brufen is highly effective at reducing pain, inflammation, and fever. In Pakistan, it is used for a broad range of conditions including headaches, dental pain, muscular aches, and menstrual cramps.
Additionally, Brufen is an excellent choice for lowering high body temperatures associated with the common cold or flu. Its versatile nature and proven safety profile make it an essential item for any household first-aid kit. PakMeds ensures that you have access to genuine Brufen to manage your family's common ailments safely and effectively.
How Does Brufen 200mg Tab Work?
The active ingredient, Ibuprofen, works by inhibiting the activity of enzymes known as cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). These enzymes are responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are hormone-like chemicals the body produces in response to injury or certain diseases. Prostaglandins cause pain, swelling, and inflammation, and also signal the brain to increase the body's temperature. By blocking these enzymes, Brufen reduces the production of these mediators at the site of pain, thereby providing relief from discomfort and reducing swelling. It also acts on the hypothalamus to return the body temperature to normal during a fever.Brufen 200mg Tab Side Effects
While Brufen 200mg is generally safe for short-term use, some side effects can occur. Common ones include stomach upset, nausea, and indigestion. Taking the tablet with food or a glass of milk can significantly reduce these gastrointestinal effects. In some cases, users may experience mild dizziness or headaches.
Rare but more serious side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, or impaired kidney function, especially if taken in high doses or for prolonged periods. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes or a worsening of asthma symptoms can occur in sensitive individuals. PakMeds advises following the dosage instructions carefully and avoiding the use of multiple NSAIDs simultaneously.
List of Warnings:
- Do not use if you have an active stomach ulcer or a history of gastric bleeding.
- Avoid use if you are allergic to aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medications.
- Use with caution if you have pre-existing heart, liver, or kidney problems.
- Not recommended for use during the late stages of pregnancy.
- Consult a doctor before giving to children under 12 years of age.
