What is Nurofen Migraine Pain 342Mg Caplets?

Nurofen Migraine caplets contain Ibuprofen which belongs to a group of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Ibuprofen works by reducing inflammation at the site of pain. It provides relief by changing the body’s response to pain, swelling, and high temperature.
