It is indicated for the relief of rheumatic or muscular pain, joint pain, back pain, neuralgia (sharp pain along nerves), migraine, headache, dental pain, period pain, feverishness, cold and flu symptoms.
Flarin capsules are manufactured in a different way to liquid capsules. Rather than dissolving ibuprofen in liquid, the ibuprofen is formulated with lipids which are absorbed differently. We refer to this unique formulation as Lipid Lock Technology.
Flarin encases ibuprofen in lipids which help it to travel through the stomach and into the small intestine where it is broken down, allowing it to be transported around the body to the sites of pain and inflammation.
At these sites the body produces chemicals called prostaglandins as part of the response to injury and strain. They cause the inflammation which leads to swelling, pain and stiffness.
Flarin works by blocking the chemicals that cause the pain and inflammation to bring effective relief from joint pain.
Flarin is not suitable for children under 12 years old.

Swallow the capsules whole with water. Do not chew.

Take one or two capsules (200 mg – 400 mg), up to three times a day as required.

Leave at least 4 hours between doses and do not take more than 1200 mg (6 capsules) in any 24 hour period.

The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration necessary to relieve symptoms.

If you have an infection, consult a doctor without delay if symptoms (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen.
