Description: Ibalgin Rapidcaps 400 mg cps mol (blis.PVC/PVDC/Al) 1x30 pcs

The medicine in the form of soft capsules contains the drug ibuprofen, which belongs to a group of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs provide relief by changing the body's response to pain, swelling and high body temperature. The drug is absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream and thus quickly reaches the site of pain.

The drug is used to relieve headaches, migraines, toothaches, backaches, menstrual pain, muscle aches, fever, and cold and flu symptoms.

It is also used on the advice of a doctor to relieve pain that is felt along a nerve (neuralgia), swelling and pain in the joints (rheumatic pain), and for less severe joint inflammation (minor arthritis). More at adc.sk

Dosage and dosage schedules

Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age (with a body weight of 40 kg or more):
The recommended dose is in the range of 200-400 mg of ibuprofen, no more than 3 times a day as needed. The interval between doses should be at least 4 hours. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest period of time necessary to relieve the symptoms of the disease.
The dose of 1200 mg of ibuprofen should not be exceeded within 24 hours.

Adults should consult a doctor if symptoms of the disease persist or worsen, or if the medicine needs to be taken for more than 10 days.
