Ibuprofen/paracetamol, sold under the brand name Combiflam among others, is a fixed-dose combination of the two medications, ibuprofen, and paracetamol (acetaminophen).[2] It is available in India,[2] the United States,[3][4] and Australia.[1] It may be used for fever, headache, muscle pain and menstrual cramps. Ibuprofen belongs to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class of drugs.
There is evidence that paracetamol combined with an NSAID provides pain relief better than either drug used alone.[5][6]
