Buplex Ibuprofen 200mg Film Coated 50 Tablets — Value Pack Pain Relief
Buplex Ibuprofen 200mg 50 Tablets is the larger economy pack of the trusted Buplex ibuprofen range — providing the same anti-inflammatory and analgesic pain relief as the 24-pack but with greater supply for households and regular users. Each film-coated tablet contains 200mg of ibuprofen, one of the most effective and widely used pain relief medicines in Ireland.
Ideal for households that regularly use ibuprofen for headaches, period pain, back pain, muscle injuries or joint pain — the 50-tablet pack offers better value per tablet than the 24-pack while ensuring supply is always available when needed.
What Buplex Is Used For
- Headache and migraine — fast-acting anti-inflammatory relief
- Period pain — first-choice OTC treatment due to prostaglandin-inhibiting action
- Toothache — reduces dental inflammation and pain
- Back pain and muscle injuries — reduces inflammation from sprains and strains
- Joint and rheumatic pain — short-term relief from arthritis flares
- Cold and flu symptoms — reduces fever and body aches
Key Features
- Ibuprofen 200mg per film-coated tablet
- 50-tablet pack — economy size for regular users
- Film coating for easy swallowing
- Also available: Buplex Ibuprofen 200mg 24 Pack
- Available without prescription from Chemco Pharmacy
How to Use
Adults and children over 12: 1–2 tablets every 4–6 hours. Maximum 3 doses (6 tablets / 1200mg) in 24 hours. Take with or after food. Swallow whole with water. Do not use for more than 3 days without seeking medical advice.
Pharmacy medicine. Not suitable for those with stomach ulcers, aspirin sensitivity, severe kidney or liver disease, or in the third trimester of pregnancy. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. Always read the patient information leaflet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 50-tablet Buplex pack better value than the 24-pack?
Yes. The 50-tablet pack provides a lower cost per tablet than the 24-pack. For households that use ibuprofen regularly — for recurring headaches, period pain, back pain or sports injuries — the larger pack is more economical and ensures supply is available when needed. Both packs contain the same ibuprofen 200mg film-coated tablets.
Can I take Buplex 200mg with paracetamol?
Yes. Ibuprofen and paracetamol work by different mechanisms and can be safely combined for more effective pain relief. Alternating them every 2–3 hours maximises pain coverage without exceeding the safe dose of either. This is commonly recommended by pharmacists for moderate pain that doesn't respond fully to one drug alone.
Is Buplex the same as Nurofen?
Yes — both contain ibuprofen 200mg and are therapeutically equivalent. Buplex typically offers better value while delivering identical pain relief.
