Medicinal Benefits:

Brufen Rapid 200 mg Capsules belongs to the group of NSAIDs used to relieve pain and inflammation. Brufen Rapid 200 mg Capsules relieves period pain, headache, neuralgia (nerve-related pain), migraine, back pain, dental pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles, cold, flu, and fever symptoms. Brufen Rapid 200 mg Capsules works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Besides this, it also minimizes fever due to pain and inflammatory conditions.
