Conquer severe fasting headaches and muscle aches with Fastaid Kosher Delayed Release Ibuprofen Capsules. Engineered specifically for major Jewish fast days like Yom Kippur and Tisha B’Av, these advanced capsules provide a powerful, slow-diffusing alternative to standard Advil or Motrin.

Standard ibuprofen wears off quickly, leaving you vulnerable to painful fasting symptoms halfway through the day. Fastaid’s unique time-release formula stays dormant and begins absorbing hours after ingestion, giving you targeted, long-lasting relief when you need it most. Fully Kosher-certified and conveniently packaged in a single-serving 2-capsule pack, Fastaid helps you maintain your focus and spiritual intent without the distraction of physical pain.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: How does delayed-release ibuprofen help during a fast?
A: Normal pain relievers are processed by the body in 4 to 6 hours, which is why people often wake up with splitting headaches halfway through a fast. Fastaid’s delayed-release mechanism ensures the ibuprofen isn’t fully digested right away. Instead, it slowly disperses into your bloodstream hours later, covering you well into the fast day.

Q: When should I take Fastaid Ibuprofen Capsules?
A: You should swallow both capsules with a large glass of water at the very end of your pre-fast meal (Seudah Hamafsket), just minutes before the fast officially begins.

Q: Does taking this pill break my fast?
A: No. Because you ingest the capsules before the fast starts, it does not violate halachic fasting laws, as you are not consuming anything during the fast itself. If you have unique medical needs or specific questions, please consult your local Orthodox rabbi.

Q: Ibuprofen is usually taken with food. Will this upset my empty stomach?
A: Standard ibuprofen can occasionally irritate  an empty stomach. However, because Fastaid is taken with your hearty pre-fast meal, your stomach is already protected. Furthermore, the time-release matrix prevents a sudden "dump" of medication, making it much gentler on the digestive tract during your fast. 

Q: Can I combine this with other Fastaid products, like the Fastaid Caffeine or Electrolyte capsules?
A: Yes! Fastaid products are designed to complement one another. You can safely combine the Ibuprofen capsules with the Electrolyte or Caffeine capsules before the fast to tackle dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, and inflammation all at once. (Note: If you choose to use a pain reliever, it is generally recommended to choose either Fastaid Acetaminophen OR Fastaid Ibuprofen, rather than taking both pain relievers together).
