WHAT DUOMAX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Duomax contains paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Paracetamol is an active substance that relieves pain.
Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDs). It
relieves pain and reduces inflammation (swelling, redness or
soreness).
Duomax is used for short-term management of mild to moderate acute
pain which is not considered to be
relieved by paracetamol or ibuprofen (alone) in children 2-12 years of
age with body weight of 12 kg and
above.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about this
medicine.
