Same medicine-different brand-different result

Featured Replies

It might just be me but usual painkiller of choice is ibuprofen 400 and my preferred brand is Neurofen liquid capsules which I find work quickly and effectively and long lasting, but many pharmacies only stock the Mega brand of Gofen which I find less effective. On studying both I find that the Neurofen is a smaller capsule making me wonder if it’s more concentrated and a different colour to the Gofen implying different ingredients. Anyone have reasons as to why there would be these differences in what are supposed to be the same medication. 

   The size, shape or color of a pill or capsule has no effect. Each of the pills you're comparing contain 400 mg of Ibuprofen.

Neurofen liquid capsules

To me it looks obvious that a liquid formula acts quicker.

It is not that simple that same substance/same amount is working independent of the formula/preparation.

I have some tablets for prostate problems which consist of three layers.

The instructions clearly says: don't try to split/dissolve or the like.

About the opposite of a liquid formula are sustained/extended release drugs.
