Flamex Duo Tablet combines Ibuprofen (200 mg) and Paracetamol (500 mg), two well-known analgesic and antipyretic agents that work through different mechanisms to provide enhanced pain relief and fever reduction. This dual-action formulation is particularly effective for managing moderate pain where a single medication may not provide sufficient relief.

Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), reduces inflammation and pain, while Paracetamol acts centrally to relieve pain and lower fever. Together, they offer a synergistic effect, improving overall efficacy with a balanced safety profile when used appropriately.
