Nurofen® 24-Hour Pain Relief Patch 200 mg is a medicated patch containing 200 mg of ibuprofen for the short-term local treatment of pain associated with acute muscular strains and sprains.
Unlike oral ibuprofen, the patch delivers ibuprofen directly through the skin to the painful area. One patch provides continuous local delivery of ibuprofen for up to 24 hours, making it a convenient option for all-day or overnight pain relief. Reckitt reports clinical evidence supporting pain relief for up to 24 hours per application.
The thin, flexible patch can be applied to areas such as the back, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs, including around joints where appropriate.

Active Ingredient
Each Medicated Patch Contains:
Ibuprofen – 200 mg
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Because the medication is incorporated into a topical patch, 200 mg in the patch should not be compared directly with a 200 mg oral ibuprofen tablet. The patch is designed to release ibuprofen locally and continuously through the skin.

Nurofen 24-Hour Pain Relief Patch is intended for the short-term symptomatic treatment of local pain in acute muscular strains and sprains associated with minor injuries.
Common areas of application may include:
Back
Neck
Shoulders
Arms
Legs
Areas affected by muscular strain
Areas affected by sprains
How to Use
Apply 1 medicated patch to the painful area.
The patch may remain in place for up to 24 hours.
Maximum: 1 patch in any 24-hour period.
Apply only to clean, dry, intact skin.
The patch is designed to remain attached during normal daily activity while providing continuous delivery of ibuprofen. Reckitt describes it as thin and flexible and suitable for application around more difficult areas such as joints.
