Numark Ibuprofen 200mg tablets are a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever. They work by blocking the production of prostaglandins - natural chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and high temperature. This makes them effective for headaches, period pain, dental pain, muscle aches, and symptoms of colds and flu.
Ibuprofen can also reduce inflammation from sprains, strains, and arthritis. The tablets are usually taken with food or milk to help protect the stomach, and should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed to control symptoms.
