What it's used for
This medicine is used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains, such as headaches, muscle pain, or toothache. It has a delayed action, so it may not provide fast relief for sudden symptoms. Always follow your doctor's advice for other uses.
Common side effects

Stop use and ask a doctor if you or a child experiences nausea, vomiting, or unusual behaviour changes.
