About TABALON 400MG TABLET

TABALON 400MG TABLET is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever in adults and paediatrics above 6 months of age. It helps to treat conditions such as menstrual cramps, headache, neuralgia (nerve-related pain), migraine, back pain, dental pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles, cold, and flu symptoms.
 
TABALON 400MG TABLET contains 'Ibuprofen', which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body. It is known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzymes' effect, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever.
