The product contains a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also known as NSAIDs). Like other NSAIDs, Ibuprofen works by changing the body’s chemical response to pain, swelling and fever resulting in relief of symptoms of inflammation (e.g. swelling, redness) and relief of pain and/or fever. Paracetamol is a fever reducer and pain reliever.

Like other NSAIDs, the lowest effective dose of Ibuprofen + Paracetamol should be used for the shortest possible time. This medicine is given orally (by mouth).

Adults and Children 12 years and older: 1 tablet or capsule every 6 hours as needed or as directed by a doctor.
