The drug NUROFEN PLUS contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Ibuprofen
UNII WK2XYI10QM - IBUPROFEN
|
|
Ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative NSAID that has demonstrated its efficacy by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. In humans ibuprofen reduces inflammatory pain, swellings and fever. Furthermore, ibuprofen reversibly inhibits platelet aggregation. |
|
2
Codeine
UNII GSL05Y1MN6 - CODEINE PHOSPHATE
|
|
Codeine is a centrally acting weak analgesic. Codeine exerts its effect through μ opioid receptors, although codeine has low affinity for these receptors, and its analgesic effect is due to its conversion to morphine. Codeine, particularly in combination with other analgesics such as paracetamol, has been shown to be effective in acute nociceptive pain. The anti-tussive activity of codeine is probably due to its depressant effect on the medullary cough centre in the brain. |
