About NUFEX 250MG TABLET

Besides this, NUFEX 250MG TABLET is also used to treat dental infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
