Ibuprofen 100mg and Paracetamol/Acetaminophen 162.5mg Oral Suspension Uses
This oral suspension is a combination of two pain relievers: ibuprofen (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID) and paracetamol (acetaminophen). It is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain in children, such as headache, toothache, earache, muscle aches, and pain from cold or flu. It is also used for pain and fever after vaccinations.
How Ibuprofen + Paracetamol Oral Suspension Works
Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Paracetamol also reduces fever and relieves pain but through a different mechanism, possibly by acting on the brain's pain centers. Together, they provide more effective pain and fever relief than either medicine alone.
Common Side Effects of Ibuprofen + Paracetamol Oral Suspension
- Nausea or vomiting
- Stomach upset or pain
- Diarrhea or constipation

- Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
Serious side effects are rare but may include stomach bleeding, liver damage, or kidney problems. Seek medical help if you notice black stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, yellowing of skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction.
