Megafen is an effective pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and fever reducer containing a dual combination of Ibuprofen (200 mg) and Paracetamol (325 mg). This dual formula makes it more effective than either ingredient alone. Available in a pack of 30 tablets manufactured by Rameda.

This combination provides stronger and faster pain relief for: headaches including migraines, dental and gum pain, menstrual cramps, muscle and joint pain, cold and flu fever, and post-surgical and injury pain.
