The active substance contained in Ibufen Rapid is ibuprofen, which belongs to the group of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that work by reducing pain, fever and inflammation.
Ibufen Rapid is indicated for the relief of pain of various causes, such as headache, toothache, neuralgia, muscle and joint pain and dysmenorrhea. It is also indicated as an adjuvant in the symptomatic treatment of fever and flu.
In toothaches, pain relief occurs within 25-30 minutes.
