Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain Caplets Information
What is Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain Caplets?
Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain is a specialised painkiller designed specifically for the relief of migraine headaches. It contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that targets inflammation and pain at its source, offering rapid and effective relief from the intense throbbing and discomfort associated with migraines.
Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain is suitable for both adults and children over the age of 12 years, providing a targeted approach to migraine pain management. Whether it's a sudden onset or a recurring issue, these tablets aim to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.
Users should not take Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain for more than 3 consecutive days without consulting a medical professional. If after 3 days the migraine symptoms persist or if one cannot manage the pain without the use of Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain, it is advised to seek advice from a pharmacist or doctor.
What is Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain used for?
This product is specifically tailored for both adults and children aged 12 and over, aiming to tackle the debilitating symptoms of migraines directly.
Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain can be used to address pain caused by:
- Migraines and severe headaches

These caplets are designed for ease of consumption and rapid action. However, for optimal safety, they should not be taken for more than 3 days consecutively. If the pain remains consistent or intensifies, it's crucial to cease usage and consult with a pharmacist or GP for further guidance.
How does Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain work?
Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain Caplets, with its primary component being ibuprofen, operates uniquely to address the severe pain associated with migraines.
Ibuprofen alone is a potent painkiller and falls under the category of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). The genesis of pain and inflammation can be traced back to the body's production of a chemical named prostaglandin, which emerges in response to infections or injuries. By hindering the formation of prostaglandins, NSAIDs effectively decrease the sensation of pain and any accompanying swelling.
While Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain does not contain codeine like Nurofen Plus, its specialized formulation is designed to target the intense, throbbing pain specific to migraines, working directly on the pain pathways to deliver rapid relief. This precision-focused action ensures that those suffering from migraine headaches receive the best possible care and relief from their symptoms.
How long does Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain take to work?
After taking Nurofen Maximum Strength Migraine Pain, you should begin to experience relief from migraine discomfort within 30 to 60 minutes of consumption. This targeted pain relief is designed to last and provide comfort for approximately 4-6 hours, helping you manage the debilitating symptoms of migraines.
