      Reviews

      "The best pain relievers I have tried. Almost instantly relieves headaches, although, of course, over time it acts more slowly. But I believe that Nurofen is the best of its kind, to refuse it is not going to. However, the list of side effects impressive and quite frightening. Being overcautious, I guess."

      "Really helps me, especially during the critical days. The pain is such that on the wall to climb it, and Nurofen allows twenty minutes later forget about the problem. Especially good when you had time. Just felt the first symptoms of a swallowed capsule, and pain even appear in no time. Still regularly take it for headaches too really helps. And when his teeth hurt, and to walk to the dentist right now not to drink Nurofen."

      "Suspension for children is great. Very quickly relieves fever, no fever this has no effect. And like a child: it is as tasty as syrup. In General, I think baby Nurofen is an essential thing for young parents! She drink it, if you have a headache. Of course, "children's dose", and in two or three times more, but it works almost instantly."
