Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We're here to help
Is Ibucalm the same as ibuprofen?
Yes, Ibucalm tablets contain ibuprofen as their active ingredient. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation and lower a high temperature. Ibucalm is a branded version of ibuprofen.
It can be used for headaches, toothache, period pain, muscular aches and back pain. Always check the pack to confirm the strength and follow the recommended dosage.
What is the maximum dose of Ibucalm?
The maximum recommended dose depends on the strength of your Ibucalm tablets. For adults and children over 12, the product leaflet for Ibucalm 200mg states a maximum of six tablets (1,200mg) in 24 hours.
Doses should be spaced appropriately, and tablets should ideally be taken with or after food. Do not exceed the pack instructions or take Ibucalm for more than 10 days without medical advice.
Can I take Ibucalm with paracetamol?
Yes, most adults can take Ibucalm (ibuprofen) alongside paracetamol if additional pain relief is needed. Both medicines help relieve pain, but they work differently in the body. It is sensible to try each medicine separately first to see whether it provides sufficient relief.
Always follow the recommended dose for both medicines and avoid taking Ibucalm with other NSAIDs, such as naproxen, unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you have existing health conditions or take other medicines, consult a pharmacist before combining treatments.
How long does Ibucalm take to work?
Ibucalm tablets typically begin to relieve pain within around 20–30 minutes of taking a dose, although this can vary between individuals. The full pain-relieving effect may take longer to develop, and the time depends on factors such as the type and severity of pain. Taking Ibucalm with or after food can help reduce stomach irritation, although food may affect how quickly it is absorbed.
Always follow the instructions on the packet and seek medical advice if your symptoms worsen or persist despite treatment.
