What are Ibuprofen 400mg Tablets?
Ibuprofen 400mg tablets are a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage pain and inflammation. It provides effective relief for various types of mild to moderate pain.
They treat rheumatic and muscular pain, pain from non-serious arthritic conditions, backache, migraine, period pain, dental pain, and headaches.
How Do They Work?
Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing these chemicals, ibuprofen helps alleviate symptoms of swelling as well as reducing the pain.
