Patient Reviews: How Ibuprofen Has Made a Difference
What is Ibuprofen?
Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is used to treat pain, inflammation and fever. It is available in 400mg and 600mg from our secure online pharmacy.
While Ibuprofen is effective on its own to treat pain and inflammation, there are a number of products, available over-the-counter from pharmacies, which contain Ibuprofen alongside other pain relief medication.
You may find ibuprofen in treatments for colds and flu, painful periods, joint ache (arthritis) and back pain. Moreover, ibuprofen is available in a number of different formulations, including syrups, gels and creams, as well as tablets and capsules.
If you don't have time to visit your pharmacy, you can get Ibuprofen 400mg online from Prescription Doctor following a short online consultation. Simply complete our online questionnaire and our doctor will assess your case and determine whether Ibuprofen is suitable for you.
Orders approved before 3pm on weekdays and dispatched from our UK based pharmacy the same day via a next-day delivery service.
How does Ibuprofen work?
Ibuprofen blocks cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes which help the body to synthesise prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals released in response to pain. When the prostaglandins reach the site of the injury, they cause inflammation.
By blocking the enzyme, the prostaglandins stop being produced and their effects are reduced.
You can order Ibuprofen online from Prescription Doctor. Simply complete our short medical questionnaire to determine if the treatment is right for you.
What health conditions can Ibuprofen treat?
Ibuprofen is commonly used to help a variety of health conditions such as:
- Period pain
- Toothache
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Backache
- Sports injuries
- Joint pain
- Muscle sprains
This is just a few of the conditions Ibuprofen can be used with. If you are suffering from moderate to severe pain due to other issues, then the chances it could be of relevance and use to you too.
Our online doctor can determine if Ibuprofen is suitable for you. All you need to do is answer a few questions about your general health and condition for our doctor to review.
Depending on the severity of your condition, as well as how well you respond to treatment, your dosage may need to be adjusted. Prescription Doctor offers Ibuprofen 400mg and Ibuprofen 600mg through our online prescription service.
How do I take Ibuprofen?
For adults, take one or two tablets with a glass of water every four hours during or shortly after eating. If you experience indigestion after taking Ibuprofen, try taking them with a small glass of milk.
Always follow the doctors prescription and do not exceed the recommended or prescribed dose.
Do not take more than 1,200mg of Ibuprofen in any 24-hour period.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I forget to take Ibuprofen when I should?
If you forget to take Ibuprofen when you should, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue to take Ibuprofen as you normally would. Do not take more Ibuprofen to make up for the dose you missed.
What should I do if I take more Ibuprofen than I should?
If you accidentally take more Ibuprofen than you should, seek immediate medical attention by contacting your doctor right away or going to the accident and emergency department of the nearest hospital. Take the packaging with you, even if it's empty, so that doctors know exactly what you've taken.
Will Ibuprofen affect my ability to drive or operate machinery?
It is unlikely that Ibuprofen will affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, if Ibuprofen is taken with other medication, you may experience dizziness or sleepiness. If you experience any side effects which may impair your concentration, you should avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel well enough to do so.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Ibuprofen?
You should avoid alcohol while taking Ibuprofen. Drinking alcohol may increase your risk of side effects such as nausea or dizziness.
Can you take ibuprofen with other analgesics?
It is generally regarded as safe to take ibuprofen alongside paracetamol and other painkillers.
Always speak to your doctor or pharmacist about taking multiple medicines to ensure it is safe to do so.
Is Ibuprofen addictive?
Ibuprofen is not an addictive substance and it is highly unlikely to become addicted to Ibuprofen. If you are worried you may be developing an addiction to prescription painkillers, however, you should speak to your doctor.
How much ibuprofen can you take in a day?
Adults should not take more than 2400 mg a day.
If you are unsure about the maximum daily dose of your medicine, check the label or read the patient information leaflet enclosed with your medicine.
Is Ibuprofen the same as Brufen?
Brufen is a brand of Ibuprofen. Other brands of Ibuprofen include Nurofen and Calprofen. They all contain the same active ingredient - Ibuprofen - albeit at different amounts. You should speak to your doctor or pharmacist to find the most suitable treatment for you.
Is Ibuprofen stronger than paracetamol?
Unlike paracetamol, which works at the site of pain and doesn't reduce inflammation, Ibuprofen works across the body to reduce inflammation. Studies have proven Ibuprofen to be more effective at treating certain types of pain, such as headaches, than paracetamol.
How long does Ibuprofen take to work?
Ibuprofen starts working between 20 and 30 minutes after it is taken by mouth. Topical administration of Ibuprofen may take up to 2 days to start working.
