Brufen 200 Tablet is a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that contains ibuprofen as its active ingredient. It is used to treat a variety of common health conditions, including mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, called prostaglandins, that are responsible for pain, swelling, and fever. Brufen 200 is frequently prescribed for headaches, toothaches, menstrual pain, muscle aches, sore throat, arthritis, and pain associated with minor injuries. It is also an ingredient in many over-the-counter cold and flu medications. This medicine is typically well tolerated and is often a first-line treatment for pain and fever relief in both adults and adolescents. However, like all medicines, it must be taken with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare provider, especially for long-term use.

How Brufen 200 Tablet works
Brufen 200 Tablet stops the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that signal pain, fever, and inflammation in the body. It blocks the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes that help make these chemicals. This action reduces swelling, lowers fever, and relieves pain. You should take Brufen with food to protect your stomach lining. It starts working within 30–60 minutes and can last several hours. Avoid taking more than prescribed. Long-term or high-dose use increases the risk of stomach ulcers and kidney damage. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.
