BRUFEN i , NEW FREEDOM FOR THE ARTHRITIC - Rheumatology

(ibuprofen)
This arthritic is back
on her delivery round for the
first time in two years
The incident recreated here is taken from an
actual report of the results achieved with Brufen.
Many such reports about Brufen have been
received, and provide convincing evidence of the
very real benefits which this highly effective
antirheumatic agent can bring to the arthritic.
To those restricted by an arthritic condition,
Brufen means the freedom of reduced stiffness,
improved joint flexion and an extended range of
pain-free movement. There is also a remarkable
freedom from adverse effects, and Brufen is so
well tolerated by the gastro-intestinal tract that
the first dose of each day can be taken on an
empty stomach, as soon as the patient is awake.
Brufen is ibuprofen, the first non-steroidal antirheumatic
agent evolved entirely by British research.
