Brufen Retard is a form of medication that belongs to a group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is designed for the treatment of various conditions characterized by pain and inflammation, such as arthritis, menstrual pain, fever, and other types of acute or chronic pain. The active ingredient in Brufen Retard is ibuprofen, which works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. The "Retard" formulation is a slow-release version, meaning it is designed to release the active ingredient gradually over time to provide prolonged relief from symptoms. This can be particularly beneficial for managing conditions that require consistent levels of pain control. As with any medication, it is important to use Brufen Retard under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure it is appropriate for your specific health needs.
