Paracetamol/Ibuprofen Sandoz Care contains two active ingredients (which make the medication work). These are ibuprofen and paracetamol. Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Paracetamol works differently than ibuprofen, but both active ingredients work together to reduce pain. Paracetamol/ibuprofen is used for the occasional symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain. This medication is especially indicated for pain that has not been relieved by ibuprofen or paracetamol alone. Paracetamol/ibuprofen is used in adults over 18 years old.
