Flamex Tablet 400 mg contains Ibuprofen, a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides effective relief from pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly prescribed for moderate pain conditions and inflammatory disorders where stronger analgesic action is required compared to lower doses.

Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for causing pain, swelling, and fever in the body. Flamex 400 mg offers fast-acting and long-lasting relief, making it a reliable option for a variety of acute and chronic conditions.
