Alaxan FR contains the synergistic combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol in a capsule. The inflammatory activity of ibuprofen and paracetamol combination is greater compared to the individual ingredients. Because pain is usually accompanied by inflammation, pain relief is more evident when inflammation is controlled by ibuprofen. This capsule format allows complete dissolution of the drugs in at least 10 min, which leads to faster absorption. Faster absorption usually leads to earlier onset of pain relief.
