Long-term use of painkillers can lead to kidney damage as they lower the body's prostaglandin levels, which are important for kidney protection. Therefore, exceeding the recommended dose or using it for extended periods is not advised and requires close monitoring by a healthcare professional.
• Dizziness, tiredness, and vision disturbances may occur after taking this medicine. If you experience any such effects, it is recommended that you avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing any tasks that require mental alertness.
• Stop the tablet and see a doctor promptly if you get persistent stomach pain, vomiting of blood or dark material, or black tarry stools, which suggest bleeding from the stomach.
• Do not combine it with another painkiller containing ibuprofen, diclofenac, aspirin or paracetamol. Many cold and flu remedies already contain paracetamol, and the doses add up to a level that can injure the liver.
• Tell your doctor before taking it if you have kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure or asthma, or if you take a blood thinner, a diuretic or a blood pressure medicine.
• Keep up your fluid intake, and avoid it if you are dehydrated or vomiting, as these painkillers can strain the kidneys in that state.

Overdose

Missed a Dose

• Ibuprofen is a pain-relieving medicine that reduces the production of certain chemicals within the body that are responsible for pain and inflammation and thus helps in relieving inflammation and pain.
• Paracetamol is an antipyretic and an analgesic. It acts on the brain and blocks certain chemical messengers in the brain that tell us that we have pain. It also acts as a centre responsible for controlling body temperature and thus reduces fever.
