Pain Relief > Nurofen Pain Relief

You pay for the brand name

Advantages: Ibuprofen works
Disadvantages: you pay for the brand name

...However, why people buy Nurofen is beyond me- it is simply Ibuprofen and you can get the same thing for much less money if just go for a shop's 'own brand'. For example, Tesco sells 12 x Nurofen for over £2, or 16 Tesco brand Ibuprofen for 36p. (Same dosage) The only time I have ever bought Nurofen was when I was in pain and the only shop near me at the time only stocked the Nurofen brand. At all other times I buy the cheap 'own brand' version and ...

Review of Nurofen Tablets

A god send for sickle cell pain crisis.

Advantages: Really does the job.
Disadvantages: careful of dependency and side affects for some people

To review a pain killer has me a little bit stumped if I am to wax lyrical. But it has been such a wonder for my wife that I felt I had to say something about it. My wife suffers from the cronic form of Sycle Cell Anemia, this being the lesser degree of the ilness that can be fatal in the more serious terminal cases. Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by a change in the chemical composition of the protein hemoglobin that carries the oxygen inside of ...
...shape of the molecules in the blood cells to change and cause them to link together; this happens under certain condition such as lowered oxygen concentration, (no high altitudes and no mountain climbing) and changes in temperature, (no winter vacations, no snowball fights with our daughter and no snowman building). Once these molecules link they create a chain called a polymer. In turn, these abnormal elongated hemoglobin polymer structures distort ...

Review of Nurofen Liquid Capsules

Got me through tonsillitis!

Advantages: Great at killing pain and swelling, easy to take
Disadvantages: None

The only time I really need painkillers is when I get tonsillitis (which is quite often!) The doctor always advises ibuprofen because it eases swelling as well as pain. In the past I have forced down normal Ibuprofen tablets - which for anyone who has had tonsillitis will know is horrible because your throat is swollen and painful, or I've tried breaking them up into loads of little pieces which makes them less effective and I've also tried ibuprofen ...
...it tastes like salt water! So I was naturally very pleased when I found these! I paid £2.50 for a pack of 12 which was a little bit more than I would pay for ordinary Ibuprofen tablets. I first bought them from Boots but have also bought them from supermarkets in the past. Storage & Shelf-life The painkillers should be stored above 25°c and out of the reach of children. They have a shelf-life of about 3years. What they claim to do They ...
