How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Ibuprofen). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Ibuprofen tablets contain ibuprofen which possesses analgesic and antipyretic activities.
Its mode of action, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood, but may be related to prostaglandin synthetase inhibition.
Ibuprofen is rapidly metabolized and eliminated in the urine.
When ibuprofen is administered immediately after a meal, there is a reduction in the rate of absorption but no appreciable decrease in the extent of absorption.
Quoted from the prescribing label, sections “Mechanism of Action” and “Pharmacokinetics”. DailyMed · 2026-02-17
Do not take it if
- if you have ever had an allergic reaction to ibuprofen or any other pain reliever/fever reducer
- right before or after heart surgery
Quoted from the official label, section “OTC — Do Not Use”.
