About Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen is one of the most popular pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications used across Nigeria. It belongs to a class of drugs called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), which means it not only reduces pain and fever like paracetamol but also tackles inflammation — the swelling, redness, and soreness that comes with injuries, arthritis, and other conditions. You will find ibuprofen under brand names such as Brufen, Nurofen, and Emzor Ibuprofen at pharmacies and patent medicine stores across the country.
