What are Nurofen Meltlets Lemon?

Nurofen Meltlets are a form of self-dissolving
pain relief that does not require water when
administering, making them ideal for on-the-go.
They are designed to dissolve on the tongue and
release ibuprofen (a painkiller) to provide quick
and convenient relief from a range of aches and
pains. The delicious lemon Ravour makes these
meltlets easy to take.

What kind of pain can this product

be used for?

aches and pains from children aged 12 and over,

How do Nurofen Meltlets help to

ease my pain?
Nurofen contains 200mg Ibuprofen which
belongs to a group of medicines known as Non-
Steroidal Anti-InRammatory Drugs (NSAIDS).
This medication provides pain relief by changing
the body’s response to pain by reducing the
hormones that cause pain and swelling in the
body. Ibuprofen takes around 20-30 minutes to
work if taken orally.

You can always count on getting what you ordered,

fast delivery, and you know it's good quality.

By Diane Lang, March 19, 2024

These work well. I @nd them very good as I have

dif@culty swallowing tablets.

By customer, November 21, 2023

Great for children who can't swallow tablets.

By Bridget, October 10, 2023

It helps me that I can’t get elsewhere. I need ibuprofen

for my rheumatoid arthritis. If I take it via normal
tablets it upsets my ulcerative colitis but with meltlets
it avoids as much as possible the affected bowel.
Brilliant!

Gnd that although they make your
