Caffeine + Ibuprofen + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a combination pain reliever.
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine. It works by reducing the production of chemicals called prostaglandins in the body, which cause inflammation, pain, and fever. It reduces swelling and lowers the body's temperature.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen operates mainly within the central nervous system. It blocks the creation of prostaglandins and interacts with pathways that are linked to serotonin. This helps to ease pain and control body temperature.
Caffeine is a stimulant for the central nervous system. It enhances the effectiveness of ibuprofen and paracetamol by improving how they are absorbed by the body and distributed to where they are needed. Caffeine also has its own properties that help reduce the perception of pain.
