Mechanism of Action

Adiflam Plus contains two active ingredients: Ibuprofen and Paracetamol.

• Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Together, these ingredients provide effective relief from pain and fever.
