Ibuprofen is a main constituent of Nurofen plus. The drug ibuprofen has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.

One should not cross the recommended daily dosage. Taking the drug for pain relief should not be developed as a regular habit; prolonged use of this drug may result into “fatal” injury to the vital organs of the body.
