Austifen 400 is an ibuprofen 400 mg tablet used for its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects in various conditions[3].
Common uses include:
- Relief of mild to moderate pain such as dental pain, headache (including migraine), and post-operative pain[3].
- Treatment of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other non-rheumatoid arthropathies[3].
- Non-articular rheumatic conditions such as bursitis, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, frozen shoulder, and low back pain[3].

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Austifen 400, is available in several oral forms. The typical adult dose for ibuprofen 400 mg is:
- One 400 mg tablet every four to six hours as needed for pain or inflammation, not exceeding prescribed daily maximums[1][4].
- It should be taken after food to minimize stomach-related side effects[5].
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosing and duration, especially if you have a history of stomach, heart, or kidney problems[2].
