    Why is Nurofen joint and back different from generic ibuprofen? First time I noticed a TV advert for ages.

    No wonder they got taken to court in Australia.

        It's in a different packet.

        The 30p ones from Morrisons are just as good.

                I remember having an argument years ago with a South African colleague. I even pointed out to her Boots brand, more expensive than the cheap ones, was made in the same factory as Neurofen according to the back of the packet.
