Analgesics

In cases where paracetamol or ibuprofen alone is not effective, both paracetamol and ibuprofen can be given alternately (i.e. ibuprofen can be taken first and then paracetamol 2 hours later, and so on, using the normal daily doses given below). This regimen controls ongoing pain and pyrexia without exceeding the recommended dose or frequency of administration for either drug.
