Ibuprofen and paracetamol have the same active ingredients. They are both anti-inflammatory and analgesic and work by reducing pain and inflammation. Ibuprofen has a faster onset of action compared to paracetamol, and therefore is usually taken before meals. It is also taken once or twice daily as needed. Paracetamol may cause stomach irritation as well as headache. You can buy ibuprofen over the counter at any pharmacy.
Always read the label or use only as directed by your doctor. Avoid taking more than recommended as ibuprofen may cause stomach irritation. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take double or extra doses to make up for a missed dose.

Applies to ibuprofen and paracetamolIbuprofen and paracetamol are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
The active ingredient is Ibuprofen. The inactive ingredients are:
Ibuprofen and paracetamol are both NSAIDs. They both act by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins, thereby inhibiting inflammatory prostaglandin synthesis. By inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, these drugs inhibit the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, which may in turn, stimulate pain, and inflammation.
NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation, but they do not relieve all types of pain. Ibuprofen is an example of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and paracetamol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. It works by inhibiting the activity of prostaglandins, which are synthesized in the body by the body’s immune system. The key to the process of making ibuprofen is the production of prostaglandins. This process is called ‘relaxation’. The prostaglandins play a role in the process of inflammation and pain. The prostaglandins are produced by the body’s immune system, and are involved in a variety of conditions including pain, inflammation, and fever. Ibuprofen is the only nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) approved by the FDA for the treatment of fever, headaches, and pain. The drug is typically used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. It is also used to reduce swelling and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the activity of the prostaglandins, which are synthesized in the body by the immune system. This helps to reduce the symptoms of pain, fever, and inflammation. Ibuprofen also reduces the production of the inflammatory cytokines which are responsible for the inflammatory response. This helps to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
