Composition
Combi Fast ® Tablets
Each tablet contains Ibuprofen IP 400 mg
and Paracetamol IP 325 mg
Combi Fast ® is a combination of the over the counter medications
Paracetemol (AKA Acetaminophen/AKA Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (AKA
Advil). Ibuprofen is an NSAID (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory
Drug), and Paracetemol/Acetaminophen is a common over the counter
pain relief medication.
The two drugs seem to work together in a "1+1=3" action, making
the combination more effective together than either would be
separately, and seemingly more effective in combination than the
drug combination should theoretically allow.
Paracetemol's pain relief action lies almost exclusively within
the brain, whereas Ibuprofen's pain relief action lies more
heavily within the body (It's Anti-Inflammatory component). It is
likely that this dual action on body and brain account for the
synergistic action of the combination.
