Nuromol — Dual-Action Relief When One Medicine Isn’t Enough
Nuromol combines 200mg ibuprofen and 500mg paracetamol in one tablet, for fast, effective relief from mild to moderate pain that hasn’t responded to either medicine alone. Suitable for adults aged 18–65.
Key Benefits
- Dual-action formula — ibuprofen 200mg + paracetamol 500mg in one tablet
- Anti-inflammatory and analgesic relief working through two mechanisms
- Helps reduce fever and soothe sore throats
- Suitable for adults aged 18–65
- Pharmacist recommended
Why Combine Two Medicines?
Ibuprofen and paracetamol relieve pain in different ways. Combining them can help when one alone hasn’t been enough — this isn’t a first-choice option, but is specifically formulated for situations where individual medicines haven’t provided adequate relief. It offers an additional option rather than simply taking more of either medicine on its own.
What Nuromol Treats
- Headaches and migraines
- Back pain and muscular pain
- Period pain
- Dental pain
- Joint pain and rheumatic discomfort
- Cold & flu symptoms, sore throats, and fever
How to Use Nuromol
- Take 1 tablet with water and food, up to 3 times a day
- Leave at least 6 hours between doses
- If needed, up to 2 tablets may be taken per dose (maximum 6 tablets in 24 hours)
- Do not use for longer than 3 days without medical advice
- Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary
- Always take with food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation
Who Should Not Use Nuromol
- Children or adolescents under 18 years of age
- Adults over 65 (licensed for ages 18–65 only)
- Anyone who hasn’t first tried ibuprofen or paracetamol individually
- Anyone already taking another medicine containing ibuprofen or paracetamol
- Anyone with a stomach ulcer, or severe heart, liver, or kidney problems
- Anyone allergic to ibuprofen, paracetamol, aspirin, or other NSAIDs
Speak to your pharmacist first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking blood thinners, other anti-inflammatories, or blood pressure medication.
Important Information
- Contains both ibuprofen and paracetamol — do not take alongside any other medicine containing either ingredient, including cold and flu remedies
- Not intended as a first-line pain reliever — use only when individual ibuprofen or paracetamol hasn’t provided adequate relief
- Do not use for longer than 3 days without medical advice
- If symptoms worsen or persist, consult your doctor
- If you take too much, seek immediate medical advice even if you feel well — paracetamol overdose can cause delayed liver damage
Possible Side Effects
As Nuromol contains ibuprofen, possible side effects include stomach discomfort, indigestion, or nausea — taking with food helps reduce this risk. Taking more than the stated dose of paracetamol can cause serious liver damage. If side effects are severe or persistent, seek medical advice.
Pharmacist’s Note
“Nuromol is a genuinely useful option for pain that hasn’t settled with paracetamol or ibuprofen on their own. The key things I always check are whether someone’s already tried either medicine alone, and whether they’re taking anything else that might already contain ibuprofen or paracetamol — that’s an easy way to accidentally double up. It’s also worth knowing this one is specifically licensed for ages 18 to 65, so it’s not the right choice for younger or older family members.”
