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.
