Flarin is the first and only over-the-counter (OTC) lipid formulated ibuprofen which helps relieve flaring joint pain and inflammation.
Flarin’s complex manufacturing process heats lipids, ibuprofen and other excipients together to create a unique patented formulation.
Lipids are used to aid absorption. They are known to pass from the stomach into the small intestine where they are absorbed through the lymphatic system.
Lipid or Liquid?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
