Frequently Asked Questions

Should I take paracetamol or ibuprofen?

Paracetamol and ibuprofen are both popular painkillers and they work in slightly different ways.

 

The real difference is that ibuprofen is classed as an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), which means that it works to relieve inflammation as well as ease pain.

 

Meanwhile, paracetamol can help to reduce a fever if you’re suffering from a cold or the flu.

 

You should take whichever medication will work best to ease your symptoms or ask your pharmacist if you’re not sure which to go for.

 

 

Of course, you can often take paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time if you want to double up on your pain relief.

 

For more information about whether or not this would be right for you, click the link below or speak to your pharmacist.

Can I take ibuprofen and paracetamol together?

Paracetamol can be used with some other pain relief medications to help ease your aches and pains more effectively.

Paracetamol and ibuprofen is a popular combination, as they can be used together safely to offer pain relief and can help reduce a fever, ibuprofen has the added bonus of relieving swelling or inflammation too.

Paracetamol can also be used at the same time as aspirin or codeine, as well as other medications.

If you think you would benefit from taking two painkillers at once you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist so they can help to determine the best possible combination for you.

They will also be able to tell you what dosage of each medication you’ll need, as making sure that you’re using each medicine properly is an essential part of taking them in combination.

What is the usual ibuprofen dosage for adults?

The usual adult dosage of ibuprofen is 200 – 400mg up to four times a day, taking no more than 1600mg of ibuprofen within any 24-hour period.

 

Most ibuprofen tablets or capsules come in doses of 200mg or 400mg per tablet, but every product is different.

 

Make sure you read the patient information leaflet of your own medicine carefully and follow either the dosage suggested in this leaflet or the dosage suggested for you by your doctor or pharmacist.

 

Do not take more than the patient information leaflet or a medical professional would advise for you.

What are NSAIDs?

NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are a type of medicine typically used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and a high temperature.

 

They are given to people who are suffering from pain, whether it be from a headache to something long-term like arthritis.

 

You can buy NSAIDs over the counter or on prescription, and you might recognize some like ibuprofen and naproxen.
