Indications

Pain Fever Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis Menstrual Disorder Inflammation

Flam is used for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea; the control of mild to moderate pain generally, particularly when pain is associated with inflammation; and the reduction of fever. It also relieves dental and period pain, backache, rheumatic pain, and muscular pain.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Ibuprofen combines strong anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing, and pain-relieving action in a single medicine. It eases pain through both a peripheral effect at the site of injury and a central effect within the nervous system. This is achieved by potently blocking the cyclooxygenase enzyme, which sharply cuts down prostaglandin production, along with some suppression of lipo-oxygenase products. Together, these actions let Ibuprofen quickly ease pain and stiffness, bring down swelling, and restore easier movement in the joints of people with arthritis.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy: Ibuprofen should not be used during the first and second trimester of pregnancy unless clearly necessary. It is contraindicated during the last trimester of pregnancy.

Lactation: Ibuprofen passes into breast milk in very low concentration and is unlikely to harm a breastfed infant.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
