Ibuprofen — All Brands in Nigeria

We list 151 Ibuprofen products from the NAFDAC Greenbook — Nigeria's official register of approved products — of which 64 have a currently active registration, including 23 combination products that pair Ibuprofen with other ingredients. They are produced by manufacturers including A.C. Drugs, Afrab-Chem, Archy Pharmaceuticals, Artemis Laboratories, Avro Pharma, among others. Combination products, and registrations the Greenbook currently lists as inactive, are clearly marked — Greenbook listings can lag renewals, so always confirm the number printed on the pack. Because it is drawn from the live register, this is far more complete than a typical brand list.

41 companies hold active Ibuprofen registrations in the NAFDAC Greenbook. They include Ranbaxy Nigeria, Avro Pharma, Bioraj Pharmaceuticals, CHI Pharmaceutical. The "applicant" recorded in the Greenbook is the registration holder — usually the manufacturer or its Nigerian representative — and the full table above shows the applicant for every registered product.

Each brand here holds a NAFDAC registration in the Greenbook. However, counterfeiters sometimes copy a genuine NAFDAC number onto a fake product, so always confirm that the brand, manufacturer (applicant), and strength printed on the pack match the record before you buy, and purchase only from licensed pharmacies.

Ibuprofen brand prices in Nigeria vary by brand, strength, and where you buy it — imported brands are often more expensive than locally manufactured ones. Confirm the current price with a licensed pharmacy, and see the price guide on the main Ibuprofen page.

Well-known locally manufactured Ibuprofen brands include Dizprofen. Imported brands include Brufen (USA), Nurofen (UK), Ibucap (India). Many more locally made brands appear in the full registry table above — locally manufactured products carry NAFDAC numbers with the 04- prefix, while imported ones typically use A4-.
