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.

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.
