Description

Feminax Express

Feminax Express offers fast, effective relief from period pain and menstrual cramps. It contains ibuprofen lysine, the lysine salt of ibuprofen which absorbs into your bloodstream twice as fast standard ibuprofen tablets to provide much needed relief from the unique pain a period brings.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), which works to reduce pain, fever and swelling, so can also be used to relieve rheumatic and muscular pain, backache, neuralgia (nerve pain), headache, migraine, dental pain, fever and the symptoms of colds and flu.

Feminax Express tablets are intended for short-term use only. Use them for the shortest time needed to relieve symptoms. Always use the lowest dose that relieves your symptoms. Do not take these tablets for longer than 10 days unless your doctor tells you to.
