How It Works

Ibuprofen:
A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation.

Paracetamol:
An analgesic and antipyretic that works on the brain's pain and temperature centers, effectively reducing pain and fever.

Caffeine:
A mild stimulant that enhances the absorption of ibuprofen and paracetamol. It improves blood flow and boosts the pain-relieving effects of the other components while reducing fatigue.

• Increased heart rate or jitteriness (from caffeine)
