Flexib Susp is used to treat Pain and Fever in children. It contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in the body. Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat.

About Flexib Susp

Flexib Susp is used in relieving pain. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short-term pain caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, etc.

Flexib Susp is a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. This medicine works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in the body.

Flexib Susp may cause certain side effects in your child, such as abdominal pain, headache, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhoea (in children). These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.
