How Ibuprofen 400mg Works

As an NSAID, Ibuprofen helps to alleviate pain and reduce fever by inhibiting the body's production of prostaglandins, chemicals that are released in response to injury or illness and cause inflammation, pain, and fever. This targeted action makes Ibuprofen 400mg Tablets particularly effective for inflammatory conditions and injuries.
