Flamex Tablet 200 mg contains Ibuprofen, a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly prescribed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. This medication is effective in managing mild to moderate pain conditions such as headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, muscle pain, and joint discomfort.

Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins—chemicals in the body responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing these substances, Flamex Tablet helps provide fast and effective relief.
