This medication combines 200mg of Ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory NSAID) with 12.8mg of Codeine Phosphate (an opioid painkiller). 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 like Nurofen Plus.

FAQ
How long does it take to work?
Usually, you will feel the effects within 30 to 60 minutes.
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.
Why can I only take it for 3 days?
Codeine is an opioid. Taking it for longer than three days increases the risk of physical dependence and "medication-overuse" headaches.
