WHAT BRUFEN IS USED
FOR
Brufen relieves pain and reduces
inflammation (swelling or redness)
that may occur:
•
in different types of arthritis
including rheumatoid
arthritis, osteoarthritis and
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
•
in muscle and bone injuries
such as sprains, strains,
low back pain (lumbago),
rheumatism, and tendonitis,
such as tennis elbow
•
from swelling and pain after
setting broken or dislocated
bones
•
menstrual cramps (period
pain)
•
following surgery
•
due to dental pain.
Brufen also relieves fever (high
temperature).
Although Brufen can relieve the
symptoms of pain and inflammation,
it will not cure your condition.
Brufen contains the active
ingredient ibuprofen. Ibuprofen
belongs to a group of medicines
called non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDs).
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS
MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR
YOU.
Your doctor may have prescribed it
for another reason.
Many medicines used to treat
headache, period pain and other
aches and pains contain aspirin or
NSAID medicines. If you are not
sure if you are taking any of these
medicines, ask your pharmacist.
This medicine is available only with
a doctor’s prescription.
Brufen is not addictive.

The recommended initial dosage of Brufen is 1200 mg - 1800 mg daily in
divided doses. Some
patients can be maintained on 600 - 1200 mg daily. In severe or acute

_MAINTENANCE DOSE _
In all indications the dose should be adjusted for each patient and
