Description
IBUCAP Capsule is a pain-relieving medicine that combines three active ingredients: Ibuprofen (200mg), Paracetamol (325mg), and Caffeine (30mg). Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and swelling by blocking the production of inflammatory chemicals. Paracetamol works on the brain’s pain centres to relieve discomfort and fever, while caffeine acts as a stimulant that enhances the painkilling effect of the other two ingredients, making the formula more effective and faster‑acting. This combination is indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, including headache, migraine, nerve pain (neuralgia), toothache, sore throat, period pain, backache, muscle aches, and joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. IBUCAP is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine in many markets, but users should follow the recommended dosage and avoid exceeding three capsules daily.
