How it Works

• Ibuprofen (NSAID): Reduces pain, inflammation, and fever by blocking prostaglandin production.

• Paracetamol (analgesic & antipyretic): Enhances fever reduction and pain relief by acting on the brain’s temperature-regulating and pain-controlling centers.

The combination provides synergistic action for better symptom control.
