How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Ibuprofen). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that possesses anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity.
Its mode of action, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood, but may be related to prostaglandin synthetase inhibition.
Elimination - Ibuprofen is rapidly metabolized and eliminated in the urine.
Ibuprofen is well absorbed orally, with less than 1% being excreted in the urine unchanged.
Food Effects – Absorption is most rapid when ibuprofen is given under fasting conditions.
