Gofen Clear Cap 200 Fast Acting

GOFEN 200 Clearcap is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to provide swift relief from various minor aches and pains. Each soft gelatin capsule contains 200 mg of solubilized ibuprofen, utilizing a liquid gel formulation that allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. This ensures that relief reaches the source of pain quickly and effectively.

Indications

GOFEN 200 Clearcap is indicated for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with:

• Headaches
• Toothaches
• Muscular aches
• Backaches
• Menstrual cramps
• The common cold
• Minor arthritis pain

Additionally, it temporarily reduces fever.

Dosage and Administration

For adults and children over 12 years:

• Take 1 capsule every 4 to 6 hours while symptoms persist.
• Do not exceed 3 capsules in 24 hours unless directed by a physician.

The capsules should be taken orally with water. It’s advisable to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to alleviate symptoms.

Mechanism of Action

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in GOFEN 200 Clearcap, works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins—chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation and pain. The liquid gel formulation ensures that ibuprofen is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, providing faster relief compared to traditional tablet forms.

Unique Clearcap Technology

GOFEN’s Clearcap technology involves encapsulating liquid ibuprofen within a soft gelatin capsule. This design not only facilitates quicker absorption but also enhances the tolerability of the medication, making it comparable to paracetamol. Clinical studies have demonstrated that ibuprofen liquid gel can offer significantly effective, safe, and rapid pain relief compared to other pain relievers.
