Description

Feminax Express 342mg Tablets – 16tablet 2 X – 8tablets

Feminax Express 342mg Tablets contain ibuprofen lysine, a fast-acting pain reliever specially formulated to help relieve the painful cramps, backache, and discomfort associated with period pain (dysmenorrhoea).

How It Works

Ibuprofen lysine belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins — natural chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and cramping during your period. The lysine salt form of ibuprofen is absorbed more quickly than standard ibuprofen, meaning it can start to relieve pain faster.
