This medication combines 200mg of Ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory NSAID) with a powerful pain-killing ingredient. Ibuprofen works at the site of pain to reduce inflammation and discomfort, while codeine works in the central nervous system to alter the body's perception of pain. This generic Almus formulation offers a cost-effective alternative to branded equivalents.

Can I take this with paracetamol?
Yes, you can take paracetamol alongside this product as it does not contain paracetamol. However, do not take it with other ibuprofen-containing products.
