NUROFEN EXPRESS. TARGETS PAIN TWICE AS FAST.</blockquote> No, it still doesn't target pain and it still travels at exactly the same speed as it did before. It's just stronger, so when it gets there it works faster. Can I just point out Nurofen’s latest advert lies even more:

WHEN PAIN STRIKES DON’T WASTE TIME GOING TO ANYWHERE BUT THE SOURCE OF PAIN

NUROFEN EXPRESS TARGETS PAIN TWICE AS FAST AS STANDARD NUROFEN TABLETS PROVIDING RELIEF PRECISELY WHERE ITS [sic] NEEDED.

NUROFEN EXPRESS. TARGETS PAIN TWICE AS FAST.

No, it still doesn’t target pain and it still travels at exactly the same speed as it did before. It’s just stronger, so when it gets there it works faster.
