Is Nurofen Taking For Headache?
we are soon traveling to Norway to stay with relatives. My cousin there has asked if I can find Nurofen here in U.S. to take to him in Norway because he says he got it here on his last visit and it works for headaches. I cannot find it, and wonder what you know about it. thank you

Hello dear,
Thanks for being on Healthcaremagic.com. Nurofen(Ibuprofen) is a commonly used over the counter drug,which acts as an analgesic.But let me make you aware of the fact that this drug if used randomly without the guidance of a physician,can lead to serious side effects like kidney damage and gastric ulcer.It can also cause serious allergies.Even a single tablet can prove to be dangerous.I hope it helps.
