• Stomach Bleeding Warning: This product contains an NSAID (Ibuprofen), which may cause stomach bleeding. Risk is higher for those over 60, those with a history of stomach ulcers, or those who consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks daily.

• Liver Health: Chronic or heavy alcohol use increases the risk of paracetamol-induced liver damage.

• Cardiovascular Risk: Use with caution if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or a history of stroke.

• Kidney/Liver Disease: Consult a doctor before use if you have impaired kidney or liver function.

• Pregnancy: Consult a healthcare professional before use. Avoid use during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless directed by a doctor.
