Tab. Flamex 400 mg

Ingredients:
Each tablet contains Ibuprofen (400 mg).

Direction of Use:
Take one tablet with a full glass of water. The tablet should be taken with food or milk to reduce stomach irritation. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your healthcare provider.

Indication:
Tab. Flamex 400mg is used for:
Pain relief from conditions such as headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, muscle pain, and minor arthritis pain.
Reducing inflammation and swelling associated with musculoskeletal conditions.
Alleviating fever.

Pharmacology:
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins—chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Ibuprofen helps to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever.

Take 1 tablet with or after food, as directed by your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
