Detailed Description
This NDC code represents a prescription bottle containing 500 film-coated ibuprofen tablets manufactured by Time Cap Laboratories. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly prescribed to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. The film coating makes the tablets easier to swallow and may help protect the medication. This is a prescription-strength formulation that requires a doctor's prescription to obtain.
