About Feminax Express

Feminax Express is a fast-acting pain relief medicine specially formulated to relieve period pain (dysmenorrhoea). It contains ibuprofen lysine 342mg, which is equivalent to ibuprofen 200mg. Ibuprofen lysine is absorbed more quickly than standard ibuprofen, helping to relieve menstrual cramps and lower abdominal pain faster.

Feminax Express works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, the substances responsible for uterine contractions and inflammation that cause period pain.

Feminax Express is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over.
