Nuromol 200/500mg - 24 Tablets

What Are Nuromol Ibuprofen Paracetamol Tablets?

Nuromol 200/500mg tablets are an over-the-counter combination analgesic containing two well-established active ingredients: ibuprofen 200mg and paracetamol 500mg. Each tablet brings together a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a centrally acting analgesic, giving you dual-action relief from mild to moderate pain. Whether you're dealing with a tension headache, a migraine, dental pain, period pain, or general muscular aches, Nuromol is formulated to tackle pain from more than one angle at once. You can browse the full range of options in our pain relief collection if you'd like to compare alternatives.

Nuromol is licensed for use in adults and young people aged 12 and over. It is available without a prescription and is classified as a Pharmacy (P) medicine in the UK, meaning it is sold under pharmacist supervision. Each pack contains 24 tablets, priced at £7.11.

How Do Nuromol Tablets Work to Relieve Pain?

The two active ingredients in Nuromol work through distinct but complementary mechanisms, which is why the combination can be more effective than either ingredient alone for certain types of pain.

• Ibuprofen 200mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins — the chemical messengers responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever.
• Paracetamol 500mg acts primarily within the central nervous system. It raises the pain threshold, meaning your brain perceives pain signals less intensely. It also has a mild antipyretic (fever-reducing) effect.
• Together, these two mechanisms address both the peripheral inflammatory component and the central pain perception component, which is why clinical evidence supports combination use for certain pain types.

Who Is Nuromol Suitable For?

Nuromol is suitable for a broad range of adults and adolescents. It is particularly useful when a single-ingredient painkiller hasn't provided adequate relief. That said, it isn't right for everyone — always read the label carefully before use.

• Adults aged 18 and over with mild to moderate pain
• Young people aged 12 to 17 (under adult supervision)
• People experiencing tension headaches or migraines
• Those with dental pain, period pain, or muscular aches

It is not suitable for children under 12, people with active peptic ulcers, those with severe kidney or liver impairment, or anyone with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen, paracetamol, or aspirin.

How Should You Store Nuromol Tablets?

Store Nuromol ibuprofen paracetamol tablets below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until you are ready to use them. Always store medicines out of the sight and reach of children — a locked medicine cabinet is ideal.

Do not use Nuromol after the expiry date printed on the pack. If you have unused or expired tablets, return them to your local pharmacy for safe disposal rather than putting them in household waste or flushing them down the sink. If you're also managing other health conditions, you might find our vitamins and supplements collection useful for supporting general wellbeing alongside pain management.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Is Nuromol and What Is It Used For?

Nuromol 200/500mg tablets are a licensed over-the-counter medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. Each tablet contains two active ingredients — ibuprofen 200mg and paracetamol 500mg — working together to provide more complete pain relief than either ingredient alone. Nuromol is indicated for the short-term treatment of headaches, migraines, dental pain, period pain (dysmenorrhoea), backache, rheumatic and muscular pain, and the symptoms of colds and flu including fever.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using Nuromol?

Before taking Nuromol, it is important to check whether it is appropriate for you. Do not take Nuromol if any of the following apply:

• You are allergic to ibuprofen, paracetamol, aspirin, or any other NSAID
• You have or have had a stomach ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or perforation
• You have severe heart failure, severe kidney disease, or severe liver disease
• You are in the last trimester of pregnancy (28 weeks or beyond)
• You are under 12 years of age
• You have a rare hereditary condition such as phenylketonuria or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

Speak to your pharmacist or GP before taking Nuromol if you have asthma, high blood pressure, a history of heart disease or stroke, kidney or liver problems, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis. Use with caution if you are elderly, as you may be more susceptible to side effects.

The following medicines may interact with Nuromol:

• Anticoagulants such as warfarin — increased bleeding risk
• Other NSAIDs including aspirin — increased risk of gastrointestinal side effects
• SSRIs (antidepressants such as fluoxetine) — increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding
• Methotrexate — ibuprofen may increase methotrexate toxicity
• Lithium — ibuprofen may raise lithium plasma levels
• Antihypertensives (blood pressure medicines) — ibuprofen may reduce their effectiveness
• Other paracetamol-containing products — risk of paracetamol overdose

How Should You Use Nuromol?

Always take Nuromol exactly as directed on the label or as advised by your pharmacist. Swallow tablets whole with a full glass of water. Taking them with food or milk can help reduce the chance of stomach upset.

1. Check you are not already taking any other product containing ibuprofen or paracetamol.
2. Take 1 or 2 tablets with a full glass of water.
3. If needed, repeat the dose after 4 to 6 hours.
4. Do not take more than 6 tablets in any 24-hour period.
5. Do not use for more than 3 consecutive days without speaking to a doctor or pharmacist.
