Flarin ibuprofen with Lipid Lock® technology
Only Flarin ibuprofen has lipid lock technology, locking in the pain relieving power of ibuprofen.
Our complex manufacturing process heats lipids and ibuprofen together to create a unique patented formulation called Flarin.
Flarin is dissolved in lipid oils. Lipids are absorbed in the small intestine and used in other medicines to aid absorption.
No other ibuprofen has been proven to be more effective for joint pain*.
Flarin has been clinically proven to be as effective as 2400mg ibuprofen which is twice the standard dose at reducing joint pain**.
It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, joint pain can happen to anybody at any time and can make even the most simple daily tasks, like driving or going up the stairs, difficult.
Flarin FAQs
What is Flarin used for?
Flarin contains ibuprofen, which belongs to a group of medicines known as non‐steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
It is indicated for the relief from rheumatic or muscular pain, joint pain, back pain, also for the relief of pain of non‐serious arthritic conditions, caused by swelling, stiffness and inflammation of joints. It can also be used for the relief of neuralgia (sharp pain along nerves), dental pain, period pain, feverishness, cold and flu symptoms.
How does Flarin work?
Flarin encases ibuprofen in lipids which help it to travel through the stomach and into the small intestine where it is broken down, allowing it to be transported around the body to the sites of pain and inflammation.
At these sites the body produces chemicals called prostaglandins as part of the response to injury and strain. They cause the inflammation which leads to swelling, pain and stiffness.
Flarin works by helping block the chemicals that cause the pain and inflammation to bring effective relief from joint pain.
What makes Flarin different?
Flarin capsules are manufactured in a different way to liquid capsules. Rather than dissolving ibuprofen in liquid the ibuprofen is formulated with lipids which are absorbed differently.
Lipids are fatty substances such as oils, butter and fat. Lipids are absorbed in your small intestine.
What is the active ingredient in Flarin?
The active ingredient is ibuprofen 200 mg
The other ingredients are:
Macrogol 400
*Hard Fat
*Glycerol monolinoleate
*Hard fat and glycerol monolinoleate are lipids, which are long chain fatty acids from a vegetable source.

Clinical Evidence
A clinical study was conducted at 27 primary care centres in 462 patients, the first of its kind to focus on flaring knee joints and overseen by leading experts. The study demonstrated that Flarin (1200mg/day) was as effective as 2400mg ibuprofen which is twice the standard dose at relieving joint pain**.
