Nurofen, the fastest growing brand of analgesics globally and leading analgesics brand in the UK* has just introduced an innovative new range of Topical treatments that deliver fast relief from muscular aches and pains. The new Nurofen range has been specifically developed to address the number one consumer need (currently unmet) from the Topical market which is for speed of relief.**
There are four new Nurofen Topicals products being rolled out during March:
• Nurofen Express Heat Patches (Reg) & Nurofen Express Heat Patches (Large), Start to heat in just 5 minutes. Flexible patches available in two sizes for maximum comfort and ease of application.
• Nurofen Fast Penetration 5% Gel and Nurofen Fast Penetration Maximum Strength Gel (10%). New fast penetrating gels containing ibuprofen for targeted relief at the site of pain and inflammation whilst exerting a soothing and cooling effect.
The new products will be supported by a heavy weight £2.5m media campaign that breaks in April.
“The number one consumer need in this market is for speed of relief and that is exactly what the new Nurofen Topicals have been designed to offer. Nurofen Topicals are about speed of action and providing pain sufferers with fast, effective relief. Topicals is a natural extension to the Nurofen range which is already the trusted favourite with people who don’t want to let pain get in the way of them living life to the full. We predict that Nurofen Topicals will quickly become a popular choice for those seeking fast relief from muscular aches and pains.” Mark Pearson RB Category Marketing Director.
