Ibuprofen 100 mg and Paracetamol 162.5 mg is an effective analgesic and antipyretic combination used for the management of fever and mild to moderate pain, especially in pediatric patients. This dual-action formulation works synergistically to provide fast and long-lasting relief from pain, inflammation, and elevated body temperature.

Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), helps reduce inflammation and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, while Paracetamol acts centrally to lower fever and relieve pain. Together, they provide enhanced therapeutic efficacy compared to single-drug therapy.

This combination is commonly recommended for fever, headache, toothache, earache, body pain, sore throat, and pain associated with cold and flu. It is widely used in oral suspension formulations for children due to its reliable safety profile and effective symptom control when taken as directed by a physician.
