Nurofen

Nightmare – Totally ineffective for any kind of muscular pain or spinal pain. Have used two 200mg tablets three times daily for one week. No relief at all. Have to depend on cold packs. Show details

Sexist advertising from Nurofen. Gender pain gap! – Gender pain gap garbage?? Nurofen: This is a such a weak attempt at marketing using sexism to underpin sales. Sack your marketing manager before you lose half your customers. Show details

Disgusting gender divide advertising-Good bye Nurofen – While ever the product clearly works like many other products on the market to ease pain for men and woman, I am disgusted with the marketing campaign where the company feels it is appropriate to play a gender divide game and then accuse doctors of not knowing anything about their profession and neglecting to identify the concerns of female patients. I absolutely will never allow Nurofen products in my household ever again. Show details

Best ever pain relief – I suffer with nerve pain, nuromol liquid capsules are my best friend!! After taking nuromol the pain is relieved in 10 mins or so.I take nuromol every 4 to 6 hours.This pain relief works better than any other including prescribed nerve pain medication Show details

Works For Me – I always buy Nurofen in the tablet form because I found the caplet a little difficult to swallow. Like a lot of other people I have arthritic knees. I find two Nurofen in the morning combined with stretching exercises gives me significant improvement,we all know there is no ‘miracle’ cure for arthritis. I always take them with food…never take them on an empty stomach… They are a good price and easily obtainable. Show details

This is perfect! Can't keep without it – Nurofen is a great painkiller. I found ibuprofen to be far more effective than paracetamol, and Nurofen is readily available just about everywhere. I generally use it for headaches, period pain and back pain, but I've also used it after dental surgery and when I twisted my ankle. It offers great pain relief, I always make sure there's some in my medicine cabinet.

Don't Divide us by Gender, ALL people feel pain! – I am disgusted with your current advertising saying with much Virtue Signalling that you are closing The Gender Pain Gap! As a man I was misdiagnosed and put down as a malingerer for 15 years before getting a diagnosis too late meaning a cure wasn't possible as nerves were ruined and I now suffer neuropathic pain now 24/7 for life! All people… Read more

suffer pain and by targeting 51% of the population you isolate men who have chronic pain. I would have thought the Voice referendum showed companies like yourselves that dividing people by race or sex is a bad move. As a result of this advertisement my wife and daughter are no longer buying your product as they have to see me suffer every day. You have shot yourselves in the foot with this campaign and please reconsider as you will find your products will suffer. I really feel offended and unhappy with this line you are pushing.

Black label on tablets – Why is black stuff in dissolved tablets attracted to magnet accidentally near glass? Please tell me why there are little bits of black stuff in my glass when I dissolve my tablets so I don't have to swallow them Show details

Impossible to swallow - almost choked me – I bought the Nurofen Express 512mg tablets in Cyprus when I was there on holiday. When I wanted to use this tablet (solid material, almost like a sphere) it was really hard to swallow it, I stuck in my throat. Then when I came home, I tried to use it again, it stuck in my throat again, it has a surface that gets sticky when it gets wet. I tried to… Read more

drink more water on it but the water jammed, too (blocked by the tablet in my throat), so I vomited it. Its still on my kitchen wall, I will have to repaint it someday. I tried it a third time in the bathroom, and failed to swallow it again. After that I throw the rest into the trash, and searched on google where share my experience about this poison, ... I mean product.

OK for arthritis pain - over packaged – I hate taking any drugs but at the moment I'm taking 4 Nurofen caplets daily for severe arthritis in my wrists and I find they work ok. I used to take Panadol Osteo but because of the difficult blister packaging I've changed to Nurofen which are more expensive but equally as good. Another bonus with the Nurofen is the size, they are about half… Read more

the size of those oversized P.Os. The downside is also the packaging … I get the 96 box and although they are blister packed they are also in 4 individual boxes of 24s inside the outside box! over-packaging for sure and totally unnecessary I reckon. Save on the smaller boxes and reduce the price! SEPT 2019: I've just purchased a new box of Nurofen caplets and noticed the 4 little inner boxes have been done away with ! Congratulations for common sense with packaging. APRIL 2022: I'm no longer taking this medication, it's become totally ineffective.

Trash – I started getting a headache yesterday, took some nurofen ... didnt do anything. Went to bed and woke up the next day. About midday to late afternoon, i started getting another headache so I took more. My headache turned into a migraine. Had to take 3 tablets to get any sort of a result. Did nothing. Took another 2 1 hr later, also did nothing.… Read more

Had to get the hubby to go & buy me a box of panadol. All the nurofens in the supermarkets are complete garbage. Why the hell did they have to take away the nurofen+ & make you go to a dr to get it? So stupid. What would of been dealt with yesterday is still occurring the next day at night. Your product is crap.

Putting yourselves out of business ? – So, the Australian government has changed it's legislation, I cannot get nurofen+ over the counter anymore & now requiring everyone to go to a doctor & get a prescription. I have bought a box a week for years for chronic pain associated with MS, now though I can only get 1 box of 30 tablets every 15 days. Further more, nurofen have upped the… Read more

price. Was $13aud per box of 30, now it's $20.85.

So after getting 5 repeat prescriptions today, off to the pharmacy I go & after being given the information on the legislation changes, I told them to tear up the scripts & bin them!

Never buying nurofen again!

Not bad at all – I bought some nurofen capsules years ago from the local gold cross chemist and started using them when I had a sore throat due to the flu - it got so bad that I could hardly talk so I had to alternate so I could sleep however, the capsules were small so had no choice but, to take 2 capsules at a time in order for nurofen to work alright

More effective than paracetamol – Nurofen is a great painkiller. I find ibuprofen to be far more effective than paracetomol, and Nurofen is readily available just about everywhere. I generally use it for headaches, period pain and back pain, but I've also used it after dental surgery and when I twisted my ankle. It offers great pain relief, I always make sure there's some in my medicine cabinet.

love nurofen for a head ache – I seemed to notice that nurofen works really well when I have a head ache or pain. Panadol never works I feel as if it makes it worse. Nurofen is great for pain definitely recommend.

Regular Pain Reliever! – I have tried lots of other brands, but Nurofen is one I always go back to. My kids use it, I use it and I've got my Dad using it as well! I find it works much quicker than other brands and doesn't upset my stomach. The caplets are perfect size for me as I can't swallow larger pills without gagging - I can swallow two of these at a time - go me! :) Fast acting, gentle on stomach, great for kids

Excellent – We use nurofen a lot, any pain we use it. It's been a big fan in our family for years and you can buy from pretty much anywhere now. It helps us get on with our lives and really tackles pain on hand. I like that nurofen has different pain tablets, for different areas even cold and flu. Works fast -

Pain relief – For instant pain relief try nurfofen. It works wonders for headaches and tooth aches. I have used other pain killers and nothing comes close to nurofen. It is expensive compared to other brands, but l must say well worth it, as it actually works not like some others on the market. Instant pain relief Expensive

Nurofen is the best painkiller – When I have a headache, or more recently, toothaches, I turn to Nurofen for relief. I've tried the others but it is really only Nurofen that works for me. Its the rapid pain relief that makes it my painkiller of choice. Easy to take and totally effective so it ticks all the boxes. Quick pain relief  Show reply

Unbelievably good !!! – There has never been anything as good as nurofen, i am used to taking panadols but i always dint get the effect i was looking for. Advil is something i would equally recommend. I thought i would write a quick review for people looking for a quick relief from headache and tummy ache. cheap, readily available  Show reply

Good – Several years ago, I found that paracetamol (panadol) wasn't working very well for me, so I tried Nurofen instead. It seems to work much better for headaches, tooth aches, period pain, inflammation, etc. If you have really strong pain, Nurofen Plus is probably the better option as it has added codeine. But for regular pain, Nurofen works… Read more

quickly and does the job. I have always used the caplets, and they are small and easy to swallow without a nasty aftertaste. They are suitable for breastfeeding mothers and those with asthma. I have never had an upset stomach from taking Nurofen, or any other side effects. Easy to swallow, works fairly fast, effective on pain

OK – This works fairly quickly working pill for headache and pain. A cheaper store brand is available if you can find it in stock at Coles or Woolies. If you prefer this branded one and are willing to pay a little bit more for it, then this is a good effective pill for pain. It is easy to swallow so it doesn't linger in the mouth or throat dryly. I… Read more

used to use these quite often when I had terrible headaches. Nowadays, I just buy the supermarket's version which I am sure contains the same ingredient. Very expensive for the number of pills you get in a pack. It is probably cheapest to buy the bigger pack which should be okay since the expiry date is usually a couple of years away. I have heard that it can cause stomach problems if you use too many and for a long period of time, so that is something to think about.

Good – I once had my feet swell up after spending hours in water and detergent the day before. The Dr told me to take Nurofen and it worked. Luckily as I was in a wedding the next day and could not fit into the bridesmaid shoes! I know it was the Nurofen as they swelled up again and I repeated the Nurofen and they settled back down (Dr was stumped as it… Read more

why they were sore and swolled). I also use it if I have a sore throat or when I have had tonsilitis as I find it helps to settle the swelling. I tend to use Nurofen if I am dealing with inflammation. I find it very effective. Not enough if you have really strong pain.

Excellent – I really like these nurofen tablets, they work for a few things and they work fast. I am not to crash hot on the baby safety aspect of them tasting sweet and not being in a baby safe bottle. I will how ever still keep buying them. Oh and did i say They work really well! They taste sweet so aren't a struggle to get down. They are easy to swallow, i… Read more

haven't ever had one not go down properly They don't come in a baby proof bottle. and they are a little pricey

Good – I like that you can buy Nurofen pain relief tablets in a variety of forms as the liquid capsules I have found to be a far easier form to take. I always have trouble trying to swallow the tablets. You can buy the tablets in bulk packets which makes them much more affordable. Good with pains such as headaches. Readily available form of pain relief.… Read more

You can always find Nurofen at supermarkets or chemists. Does a good job with a variety of different forms of pain. These tablets can be expensive but you will often find them on special at chemists from time to time.

Excellent – I had always used Panadol when suffering from a headach or stomach cramps, but since using Nurofen there is no going back. Due to the seet coating, they are easy to swallow. I find it more effective if you rest until you feel the effects of the pain killer and once they start working you have a good 2 hours before if the pain still persists I… Read more

would take another 2. sweet taste due to costing on the outer crust of the tablet, works fast and effectively - I wouldn't use anything else. Readily avaliable. Can be a little expensive but if you buy them in bulk packets you can save a little money and they are more reasonable.

Excellent – After years of using Panadol, I tried Nurofen and was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea that some pain relief tablets had a sweet coating! After taking them, I was surprised that they seemed to work a lot better than what I had previously used. Now I make sure I always have some Nurofen in the cupboard for those off days. Definitely recommended… Read more

for mild-medium strength pain. Sweet coating, they are smaller than other products, they work faster than many others. More expensive than other products, not many in a pack which means they get used fast when taking two at a time.

Excellent – i am a breastfeeding mother, was relieved to find out that this is suitable as sometimes paracetamol on its own does not bring relief. i find it very effective. bought this for tension headaches. works quickly and the tablets are small and easy to swallow. have not had any negative experiences/side effects so far.

Good – There was once that I went for a seminar on pain relief, and we were given a pack of Nurofen to sample. It so happened that I had quite a bad headache sometime after the seminar, which gave me a chance to try it. The headache went away in about 3 hours, which was pretty quick in my opinion. Be mindful to always take it with food because it can… Read more

irritate the tummy. The pharmacist normally recommends a maximum of 6 tablets a day, and I tend to stick to that, although I know that one can actually take up to 12 tablets daily. Use Nurofen in moderation. Nurofen is the original brand, so if you are happy to go for generics which are cheaper, you could consider other brands available. Awesome relief from headaches, inflammatory pain conditions such as muscular/back pain and period pain, easy to swallow Can cause stomach upset especially if taken on an empty stomach, silghtly more expensive than other generics of ibuprofen

Good – Ibuprofen is great stuff. I find it particularly effective for stress headaches and migraines. I get worried when people seem to take nurofen daily - it's not good to be reliant on any drug, and ibuprofen (as I've said) has side effects. Don't forget that there are other (cheaper) brands! Fast an effective for most headaches, and muscular pain.… Read more

Sweet coating makes the normal tablets easy to swallow. They are available just about everywhere More expensive than other ibuprofen tablets, yet others are just as effective. People seem to be afraid of anything that is not Nurofen. Be careful not to take these too regularly or on an empty stomach as you can get stomach ulcers and other problems.

OK – nurofens great to use for the headaches or anything else you would normally use panadol for,they come in handy little boxes with neat packaging or you could opt for the larger quantity packets so you dont run out when you most need them,the tablets are not as big as others aithere so it makes them easier to swallow.they are a bit more dearer than… Read more

other medicines available but they are worth it great as its not that expensive,tells you on the packaging exactly whats in it and what it is designed to do nothing bad to say about it
