Nurofen Lemon Meltlets 12

Nurofen Meltlets are only intended for short-term use and you should take the lowest dose for the smallest time necessary to relieve your symptoms. This product is only suitable for children over the age of 12, adults and the elderly.

Take one or two meltlets up to three times a day as required. Place tablet on the tongue, allow it to dissolve and then swallow- no water required!

This medicine contains 15 mg aspartame in each tablet. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine which may be harmful to people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine builds up because the body cannot remove it properly.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose. That is to say essentially 'sodium-free'.
