Complagesic

Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate is a combination of three medicines: Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate1, Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate2 and Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate3 which relieve pain. Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate1 is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate2 is an antipyretic (fever reducer). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate3 is an inorganic salt which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and prevents damage to the stomach lining caused by Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Magnesium Trisilicate1.
