Re:Australia pulls some Nurofen products over misleading claims by prodmerc on Monday December 14, 2015 @07:10AM (#10730557)
People fall for it because they don't know better. Nurofen treats headaches/migraines/whatever, ibuprofen... what the hell is ibuprofen, the doctor did not prescribe that!

I've seen so many people take overpriced multivitamins and specific brands for cold/fever when they could've taken generic paracetamol or bodybuilder supplement vitamins (much cheaper and higher dosages) that I don't even care anymore.

Either educate yourself and do some research or pay for the safe, overpriced brand.

Nurofen's manufacturer also sponsors medical conferences which use a large yellow sun with giant gradiated halos (ie, the Nurofen branding) throughout the conference materials without mentioning the name 'Nurofen' as they are legally forbidden from doing so.
