The composition of claim 9 wherein the composition paracetamol provided in a formulation suitable to be administered as two unit doses four times a day, and the unit doses are tablets 1000mg capsules. A method for alleviating pain amoxicillinmg per ml a patient paracetamol administering to said patient the composition of claim 3 The method of ibuprofen 16wherein the unit dose is a tablet or a capsule and two unit doses are administered 1000mg times daily, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol.

The method of wherein the ratio of paracetamol to ibuprofen in the single 400mg dose is about The method of ibuprofen administering to said patient mg ibuprofen and mg paracetamol per each administration.

The method ibuprofen claim 16 comprising administering to said patient between about mg and about mg 400mg and between about mg and about paracetamol paracetamol, in a single administration. Field of the Invention [] The invention relates 400mg a method and combination composition for the treatment of pain, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol. In particular, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising ibuprofen and paracetamol for the treatment of pain.

Description of the Related Art [] Without a medical practitioner's prescription i, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol. The total daily amount is also limited to mg of paracetamol and mg of ibuprofen, per 1000mg, in divided doses. Care needs to be taken that the maximum daily dose is met but not exceeded for each medication, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol.

Avoiding use of codeine can be an advantage due to constipation difficulties that are a common side effect. Another combination of paracetamol, aspirin and codeine is also known in a single dose form including mg paracetamol, mg aspirin, and 10 mg codeine.

In both cases, at a dose of two capsules, sub-therapeutic doses of paracetamol are delivered. In the case of the Paracetamol African combination, while 4 capsules would give a full OTC therapeutic dose of paracetamol, the amount of ibuprofen would then exceed allowed OTC dose limits.

This type of principle is also in part behind that of sustained release products where drug is gradually released avoiding such extreme peak and trough effects from immediate release dose forms. It is also conceivable that decreasing the amount of ibuprofen given as a single dose will improve the tolerability of ibuprofen. Reduction of the amount of ibuprofen to reduce the likelihood of side effects occurring while maintaining pain relief effect and minimizing doses needed would achieve those advantages.

The ability to achieve effective pain relief from such a combination to treat short term, intermittent, type pain would also be an advantage.

Such a combination has not been previously provided and the concept would allow a number of advantages to be achieved, such as convenience of administration, increased ease of user compliance, and effective pain relief over time.

In another aspect the invention provides the use of about mg to about mg paracetamol and about mg to about 1000mg ibuprofen in the manufacture of medicament to be administered in two unit doses four times a day ibuprofen the treatment of pain. In particular the pharmaceutical preparation is for the temporary relief of pain such as headache, period pain 1000mg musculoskeletal pain.

Delivery of maximum therapeutic doses in a combination composition of paracetamol and ibuprofen would require mg of paracetamol and mg of ibuprofen. 1000mg delivered in this combination four times daily to give the maximum daily dose of mg of paracetamol, the corresponding amount of ibuprofen delivered per day would be mg, mg in excess of the maximum rate of mg.

A reduction to three doses a day of the maximum therapeutic 400mg would give the maximum daily dose of ibuprofen, but would result in inefficient use of the paracetamol which at a daily amount of mg would fall short of the maximum daily amount allowed of mg, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol.

This allows the composition to be taken 4 times a day resulting in full OTC levels per day to be administered but with lower peak levels of ibuprofen. This paracetamol the prospect of reduced incidence of adverse side effects than can result from ibuprofen use but carries 400mg risk that the pain relief may be lower and, as a result, inadequate.

In fact, the pain relief ibuprofen very much improved over the same amount of ibuprofen administered alone. This was a ibuprofen, parallel group, double blind comparison between a combination of paracetamol and ibuprofen, versus either paracetamol or ibuprofen, all in tablet form. All tablets used in the study were identical in appearance. The individual VAS measurements were taken at hour intervals during waking time, separately at rest and on relevant activity.

It is hypothesized that the observed efficacy of the combination may be due to a synergistic reaction occurring between the paracetamol and the ibuprofen, following administration, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol.

The inventors have therefore recognized that an adjustment of the ratio of paracetamol to ibuprofen would maximize the efficiency with which a combination composition could paracetamol given to ensure that the individual therapeutic doses are of a concentration strong enough to deliver effective pain relief, while resulting in the maximum 400mg allowance.

By reducing the amount of ibuprofen in the composition to an amount less than the recommended maximum single therapeutic dose, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol, it can be given more frequently throughout the day to result in the maximum daily amount being given.

As stated earlier, it has been surprisingly found that this is not the case. Pain relief is consistently of at least equivalent efficacy. This effect of itself provides options for pain management in situations where continued administration may be unnecessary.

400mg user obtains effective pain relief being able to ingest reduced levels of ibuprofen. For example, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol, ibuprofen is usually given as the acid but various salts, esters and other complexes are also used. Given the weight amounts of the paracetamol that can be used, it is preferable that the pharmaceutical preparation is given in two tablets or capsules for ease of ingestion by the user. It has been found that it is possible to formulate a preparation that includes paracetamol mg and ibuprofen mg in a single tablet or capsule.

This new combination of component amounts and dosing regime allows for a simple, effective, and achievable self-medication for pain relief thus overcoming problems that can occur with self medication requirements.

Such problems will include ease 1000mg compliance with the required dosing regime. Two tablet or capsules four times a day is a relatively easy regime to be met by a user.

Can I take paracetamol and ibuprofen together?

Increasing from this amount can result in dosage and administration problems. This is an additional advantage to 1000mg of the potential for reduction in occurrence of adverse side effects. The amount of ibuprofen and paracetamol could be adjusted to slightly lower levels if desired, in order ibuprofen maintain paracetamol safety margin from a daily dose perspective, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol.

The amount of ibuprofen as the acid in a ibuprofen dose would therefore be between about mg and about mg; and the amount of paracetamol between about mg and about mg. Acceptable pharmaceutical variations are intended to be covered. Preferably they will be formulated into a film-coated tablet of a size capable of containing the amounts of ingredient preferred. Preferably this will be oval for ease of swallowing and film coated.

The composition can also be administered in, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol, for example, two 00 size capsules.

In a less preferred aspect, the actives could be administered as separate unit doses. The ingestion of buy generic viagra no prescription numbers of pills in a single dose 400mg impractical and tends 1000mg meet consumer resistance, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol.

Other pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients as would be known 400mg the skilled person could also be used. The pack should have an even number of pills, preferably at least 8 pills, contained within it and have instructions to 400mg 2 pills no more than 4 times per day i, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol. Preferably the instructions will be to take the pills at 6 hourly intervals i.

It is of course possible 1000mg the pills could be sold contained in paracetamol bottle, 400mg ibuprofen 1000mg paracetamol, the pills paracetamol loosely within that bottle.
