Important Information

Brufen 600mg is a prescription medicine and should be used only under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have a history of peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, asthma, severe heart failure, hepatic or renal impairment, or known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs or aspirin. Brufen is contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy. Avoid alcohol and concurrent use of other NSAIDs. Discontinue immediately and seek medical advice if signs of stomach pain, blood in stools, breathing difficulty, skin rash, or allergic reaction occur. Store below 25°C in original packaging, away from moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Ibuprofen 600 mg - the primary NSAID active ingredient, an arylpropionic acid derivative with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties

• Excipients include croscarmellose sodium, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, titanium dioxide, and carnauba wax

Manufactured by Abbott (now Mylan/Viatris in some markets). Each pack contains 30 tablets in a blister strip configuration.

Brufen 600mg works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, blocking the production of prostaglandins, the chemical messengers responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. Onset of action typically occurs within 30 to 60 minutes, with effects lasting approximately 4 to 6 hours. Beyond pain relief, ibuprofen reduces tissue swelling, lowers fever by acting on the brain's thermoregulatory centre, and eases joint stiffness and morning rigidity in rheumatic conditions, providing comprehensive symptomatic relief from a single oral dose.
