Adofiido (or アドフィード).
It's an anti-inflammatory medicine with the active ingredient flurbiprofen. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs other than aspirin run a higher chance of having heart attacks and or strokes. Because this is a patch, I'm not sure of the effects.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.

The Japanese prudct name is Adofiido but that obviously will not get through outside of the country. To find a similar product in your country, go ask a pharmacist to recommend a packing sheet/compress that contains Flurbiprofen, which is the single most important component of Adofiido. Some countries might require a prescription to purchase these products.

(I happen to be in the process of leaving this website. Do forgive me when and if you come back for further questions. Many members claim to Know Japanese so there should not be any problems.)


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
