Paracetamol vs. Ibuprofen: Which One Should You Take?
Fever? Headache? Body pain? You might reach for either Paracetamol (Crocin) or Ibuprofen (Combiflam). But do you know which one is better suited for your condition?
Paracetamol is ideal for:
- Mild fever
- Headache
- General cold & flu
- Safer for people with acidity or stomach issues
Ibuprofen is preferred when:
- There is inflammation (swelling)
- Muscle/joint pain (like backache, sprain)
- Pain is more intense
❗ Avoid Taking Both Together unless prescribed
❗ Not recommended for kidney patients or those with ulcers (especially Ibuprofen)
Always read the dosage instructions and consult a doctor if symptoms last beyond 3 days.
