Product Description

Ibuprofen 400 mg and Paracetamol 325 mg Tablets belong to a group of medicines used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. This combination medicine is commonly prescribed for headache, body pain, dental pain, muscle pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis, mild migraine, and fever.

Pain and fever occur due to the release of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) in the body. These chemicals cause inflammation, swelling, discomfort, and raised body temperature.

Ibuprofen 400 mg and Paracetamol 325 mg Tablets contain two active ingredients:

• Ibuprofen is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID), which reduces inflammation, swelling, pain, and fever.

• Paracetamol, an analgesic and antipyretic, helps relieve pain and lower fever.

This dual-action combination provides better and faster relief compared to using either medicine alone. However, it should be used only as advised by a doctor and for the shortest duration necessary.

Uses

Ibuprofen and Paracetamol Tablets are indicated for:

• Headache and mild migraine

• Dental pain

• Muscle pain and body ache

• Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoea)

• Back pain

• Arthritis and inflammatory conditions

• Fever
  
  

How it Works

Ibuprofen 400 mg and Paracetamol 325 mg Tablets work by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever.

Ibuprofen reduces inflammation and swelling at the site of injury or pain.
Paracetamol acts on the brain to reduce the perception of pain and control body temperature.

Together, they provide effective relief from mild to moderate pain and fever.
