🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionIbuprofen is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Paracetamol is also well absorbed orally. The oral suspension formulation is designed for quick absorption, especially in children. Food may slightly delay the absorption of ibuprofen but does not significantly reduce the overall effect.
DistributionIbuprofen is highly bound to plasma proteins and distributes into synovial fluid, breast milk, and across the placenta. Paracetamol distributes widely into most body tissues, with a volume of distribution of about 0.9 L/kg. Both cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk in small amounts.
Protein BindingIbuprofen is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin. Paracetamol is only about 10-25% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismIbuprofen is metabolised in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes, mainly CYP2C9, to inactive metabolites. Paracetamol is metabolised in the liver primarily by glucuronidation and sulfation; a small fraction is oxidised by CYP2E1 to a toxic intermediate, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine, which is normally detoxified by glutathione.
Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of ibuprofen is approximately 2 hours. The elimination half-life of paracetamol is about 2 to 3 hours.
ExcretionIbuprofen metabolites are excreted primarily in the urine. Paracetamol metabolites are also excreted in the urine, with about 90% of the dose eliminated within 24 hours.
BioavailabilityIbuprofen has a bioavailability of approximately 80-90% when taken orally. Paracetamol has a bioavailability of about 80-100% after oral administration.
Onset of ActionPain relief and fever reduction typically begin within 30 to 60 minutes after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations of ibuprofen are reached about 1 to 2 hours after oral administration. Paracetamol peaks within 30 to 60 minutes.
Duration of ActionThe effects of this medicine generally last for about 4 to 6 hours, after which another dose may be needed as per the doctor's advice.

How It Works

This medicine contains two active ingredients with complementary mechanisms. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reversibly inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that mediate pain, inflammation, and fever. Paracetamol, although its exact mechanism is not fully understood, is believed to act primarily in the central nervous system by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and possibly activating descending inhibitory pathways. The combination provides additive analgesic and antipyretic effects, offering broader relief than either ingredient alone.

Mechanism Steps

1
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase by ibuprofen: Ibuprofen binds reversibly to COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2.
2
Reduced prostaglandin synthesis: This leads to decreased levels of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain, swelling, and fever.
3
Central action of paracetamol: Paracetamol acts mainly in the brain and spinal cord to reduce prostaglandin production and modulate pain perception.
4
Additive analgesic and antipyretic effect: The combined actions of ibuprofen and paracetamol result in enhanced relief from pain and fever compared to either alone.

Dosage Information

Adult DosageThis medicine is primarily intended for paediatric use. For adults, the dosage form and strength may not be suitable. Adults should use adult formulations of ibuprofen and paracetamol as prescribed by a doctor. The dose must be individualised by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
Pediatric DosageThe dose of this medicine is based on the child's age and weight. It is usually given every 6 to 8 hours as needed, but not more than 4 doses in 24 hours. The exact dose must be determined by a paediatrician. Do not self-medicate. Use the measuring cup or syringe provided. Shake well before use.
Elderly DosageThis medicine is not typically intended for elderly patients. Elderly patients are at higher risk of side effects from NSAIDs, including gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney problems. If used, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration, under medical supervision.
Renal ImpairmentUse with caution in patients with kidney impairment. Ibuprofen may worsen kidney function. Dose reduction or avoidance may be necessary. Consult a doctor for appropriate dosing.
Hepatic ImpairmentUse with caution in patients with liver impairment. Paracetamol can cause liver damage at lower doses in patients with liver disease. Dose reduction or avoidance may be necessary. Consult a doctor for appropriate dosing.
Maximum Daily DoseThe maximum daily dose should not exceed 4 doses of the recommended strength in 24 hours. For children, the maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 30 mg/kg/day and paracetamol is 60 mg/kg/day. Do not exceed the doctor's prescribed dose.
