Each Cuprofen Maximum Strength tablet contains 400mg of ibuprofen, which reduces pain and inflammation. Ibuprofen is a common over-the-counter pain reliever, which is sometimes found in cold and flu treatments, topical creams for joint pain, and some syrups.

How does Cuprofen work?
The active ingredient of Cuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen blocks the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body, preventing them from making a pain-causing chemical called prostaglandins.
Injuries and infections can trigger the production of prostaglandins, which can can cause pain, inflammation and fever.
By blocking the production of prostaglandins, the pain and inflammation subsides.

When taken on an empty stomach, Cuprofen takes about 45 minutes to start working.
It may take up to 2 hours for Cuprofen tablets to work when taken on an empty stomach.
