Abumol 400mg/300mg Tablet

Introduction

Abumol is a medication that combines two active ingredients: Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. It is commonly used to provide relief from pain and reduce fever.

Uses

Abumol is prescribed for the management of mild to moderate pain, such as headache, toothache, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and joint pain. It is also effective in reducing fever associated with various conditions.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Abumol may vary depending on the severity of pain and the individual’s response to the medication. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or the instructions on the packaging.

Mechanism of Action

Abumol contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, which work together to provide pain relief and reduce fever.

Ibuprofen belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

Paracetamol, on the other hand, is a pain reliever and fever reducer that works by increasing the pain threshold and reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and fever.

Side Effects

Common side effects include nausea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur. These can include severe allergic reactions, stomach bleeding, liver damage, and kidney problems. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Abumol may interact with certain medications, including but not limited to blood thinners, diuretics, certain antidepressants, and certain medications for high blood pressure. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid any potential interactions.

Before taking Abumol, inform your healthcare professional about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have a history of stomach ulcers, liver or kidney disease, asthma, or allergies.

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Abumol, as it may increase the risk of certain side effects.
