Nurofen Rapid Relief Maximum Strength Ibuprofen 400mg Liquid Capsules 20 Pack
Nurofen Rapid Relief Maximum Strength contains ibuprofen 400mg in a liquid-filled capsule — providing fast-acting, pharmacy-strength pain relief from a wide range of painful conditions. The liquid capsule format dissolves faster than standard tablets, allowing ibuprofen to be absorbed more quickly for faster onset of action compared to standard ibuprofen tablets.
At 400mg per capsule, this is the maximum licensed OTC dose of ibuprofen — twice the strength of standard 200mg ibuprofen tablets — providing stronger pain relief for moderate to severe pain that does not fully respond to 200mg doses.

- Moderate to severe pain — headache, migraine, dental pain, period pain
- Musculoskeletal pain — back pain, joint pain, sprains and strains where 200mg is insufficient
- Post-operative or procedural pain — following dental work, minor procedures
- Fever — reduces high temperature in adults
Key Features
- Ibuprofen 400mg — maximum OTC strength

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose 400mg ibuprofen over 200mg?
400mg ibuprofen (Nurofen Rapid Relief) is the maximum licensed OTC dose and provides significantly stronger anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect than 200mg products. It is appropriate for moderate to severe pain where 200mg doses have not provided adequate relief — such as severe period pain, dental pain after extraction or significant musculoskeletal injury. For mild pain or fever, 200mg ibuprofen is usually sufficient and is better tolerated.
Are liquid capsules faster than standard ibuprofen tablets?
Yes. The liquid ibuprofen inside the capsule shell dissolves and is absorbed faster than ibuprofen compressed into a solid tablet. Clinical studies show liquid-filled ibuprofen capsules reach peak blood levels faster than standard tablets, resulting in faster onset of pain relief — typically within 15–30 minutes. This makes them preferable for acute pain situations where fast relief is a priority.
