Ibuprofen
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory · NSAID
Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, Ibuprofen relates to the category “non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID)”. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduce pain and inflammation; they are preferably used over short periods.
In the case of Ibuprofen, this means: Relieves pain and inflammation. It is used rather occasionally or as a short course, to get through an episode.

Do you need a supplement? No.
For Ibuprofen, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
