PRODUCT DETAILS

1. Composition

Each tablet typically contains a triple-action combination of active ingredients:

• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): 500 mg (Analgesic and antipyretic)
• Ibuprofen: 400 mg (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug - NSAID)
• Caffeine: 30 mg (Analgesic adjuvant to enhance pain relief)

2. Uses/Indication 

Gebedol Extra is used for the fast relief of mild to moderate pain and inflammation, including:

• Headaches and migraines.
• Muscle aches and backaches.
• Dental pain (toothache).
• Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea).
• Fever reduction and symptoms of the common cold or flu.

3. Direction of Use

• Dosage: Usually 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
• Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 6 tablets in a 24-hour period (to avoid paracetamol toxicity and NSAID-related stomach issues).
• Administration: It is highly recommended to take these tablets after meals or with a glass of milk to protect the stomach lining from the ibuprofen component.

4. Side Effects

• Common: Heartburn, indigestion, nausea, dizziness, or nervousness/insomnia (due to caffeine).
• Rare but Serious: * Stomach bleeding (black/tarry stools, vomiting blood).
• Signs of liver issues (yellowing of eyes/skin, dark urine).
• Severe allergic reactions (hives, swelling of the face, difficulty breathing).

5. Warning/Interactions

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking this medication; it significantly increases the risk of liver damage and stomach bleeding.
• Other Medications: Do not use with other products containing paracetamol or ibuprofen.
• Drug Interactions: Use caution if you are taking blood thinners (like Warfarin), corticosteroids, or other NSAIDs (like Aspirin), as this increases the risk of bleeding.
• Caffeine Sensitivity: Limit other caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea, soda) to avoid jitters or rapid heartbeat.

6. Caution

• Medical History: Consult a doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, asthma (NSAID-sensitive), kidney disease, or liver disease.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Avoid use during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, unless specifically directed by a physician.
• Heart Health: Prolonged use of NSAIDs like ibuprofen can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
