Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic. It reduces pain and fever by increasing the pain threshold and acting on the heat-regulating centre of the brain, although its exact anti-inflammatory action is not fully understood.
Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that aids in breaking down proteins involved in inflammation and discomfort, potentially reducing swelling by thinning mucus and other secretions.
Together, these components work in harmony to provide enhanced relief from pain, inflammation, and fever.
