Treatment Details

What is Nurofen Cold & Flu?
Nurofen Cold & Flu is a reliable over-the-counter medication designed to alleviate common cold and flu symptoms, such as headaches, fever, nasal congestion, and muscle aches. It combines the anti-inflammatory power of ibuprofen with a decongestant to provide comprehensive relief.
How does Nurofen Cold & Flu work?
Nurofen Cold & Flu contains two active ingredients:
1. Ibuprofen: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation, pain, and fever.
2. Phenylephrine: A decongestant that works by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion.
This dual-action formula addresses multiple symptoms simultaneously, helping you feel better faster.
- Take 1 or 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed.
- Do not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
- Swallow tablets with water.
- Avoid taking on an empty stomach.
