Description

Ibuprofen 800mg Tablets 500 count is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of pain, inflammation, and fever. As a potent analgesic, it works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins.This mechanism of action makes ibuprofen effective for managing conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, menstrual pain, and other types of acute and chronic pain.

The 800mg dose is typically prescribed for moderate to severe pain and is often used in the treatment of conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It is also indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, dental pain, or post-surgical discomfort.

Ibuprofen is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and has an onset of action within 30 minutes to an hour, with peak effects usually observed within two hours. The duration of pain relief can last for up to 6-8 hours, requiring dosing every 4-6 hours as needed. It is important to follow prescribed dosage instructions and avoid exceeding the recommended daily dose.
