Nurofen® 24-hour pain plaster 200 mg active ingredient-containing plaster, 4 ST

The active ingredient is ibuprofen. Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

The patch containing the active ingredient continuously releases ibuprofen at the painful site during the 24 hours of application.

Nurofen 24-hour pain plasters are used in adults and adolescents aged 16 and over for the short-term, symptomatic treatment

• localised pain in acute muscle strains
• sprained limbs near the joints following blunt trauma.

Effective and long-lasting pain relief!

Acute pain in the musculoskeletal system such as muscle, joint or shoulder and neck pain due to strains or sprains: The new Nurofen 24-hour pain plaster 200 mg provides effective and long-lasting pain relief. Its unique fabric structure ensures the continuous release of the proven active ingredient ibuprofen, so that the pain-relieving effect lasts around the clock.

The plaster is applied directly to the painful area and is very comfortable and inconspicuous to wear thanks to its ultra-flexibility. Thanks to effective pain relief, nothing stands in the way of everyday activities - whether at work, gardening, hiking with friends or playing with the grandchildren. Thanks to the localised absorption of the active ingredient, the Nurofen 24-hour pain plaster hardly affects other areas of the body, such as the stomach. The plaster is proven to be well tolerated. Daily application is sufficient for adults and adolescents.
