Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory component. It works by blocking certain substances in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.
Magnesium Trisilicate is an antacid. It functions by neutralising the stomach acids, which in turn prevents discomfort and potential damage to the stomach lining caused by excessive acid.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic. It helps to reduce pain and lower high body temperature by affecting the way the body senses pain and cools down. In combination, these components work together to manage pain, inflammation, and fever effectively while also protecting the stomach from the potential side effects of Ibuprofen.
