How Does It Work?

• 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.
