How IBOLMEX-P Works

Ibuprofen works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins. These substances contribute to pain, inflammation and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, ibuprofen helps relieve pain and inflammation.

Paracetamol provides analgesic and antipyretic effects through a different mechanism. It helps reduce pain and fever but has comparatively limited anti-inflammatory activity.

Therefore, the combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol can provide complementary relief when pain, inflammation or fever requires treatment.

Common Side Effects of Using IBOLMEX-P

Some people may experience side effects while taking medicines containing ibuprofen and paracetamol. These may include:

• Stomach discomfort or abdominal pain

• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea

Taking ibuprofen can sometimes cause gastrointestinal irritation. If you develop severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, black stools, breathing difficulty, facial swelling or another serious reaction, seek medical attention promptly.
