Scenario 2
Sarah, a 35 year old who has recently had a baby, is suffering from backache. She usually takes ibuprofen but this time it doesn't seem to be helping. She really needs something that will provide strong and fast relief as she has a newborn baby and a toddler to look after.
Why recommend Combogesic to this customer?
Combogesic provides the step up to stronger pain relief when single actives are not enough, conveniently combining paracetamol with ibuprofen in one tablet
Fast acting, where Combogesic has a faster onset of action than the maximum OTC dose of ibuprofen alone8*
Simple dosage regimen versus recommending interspersing or concomitant doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen. Sarah will only have to take one to two tablets of Combogesic three times a day (versus up to 14 tablets in a day), resulting in less risk of Sarah under/overdosing, and offers convenience, especially due to her hectic lifestyle looking after the children.
*Versus paracetamol 1000mg, ibuprofen 200/400mg
