Nurofen Plus – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Nurofen Plus?

Nurofen Plus is a combination pain relief medicine containing two active ingredients: ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory, and codeine, an opioid painkiller. It is used for the short-term relief of moderate pain when other painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen alone, have not provided sufficient relief.

2. How does Nurofen Plus work?

Nurofen Plus combines two ingredients that work in different ways. Ibuprofen helps reduce inflammation and pain, while codeine works on the central nervous system to help relieve pain.

Yes. Nurofen Plus may be requested through our online pharmacy following a confidential consultation. A qualified healthcare professional will review your medical history, symptoms and suitability before deciding whether treatment is appropriate. Supply is not guaranteed.
