How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

Ibuprofen: The active ingredient belongs to a group of substances that are effective against both pain and inflammation and can reduce fever. All three effects are primarily based on the inhibition of an endogenous substance called prostaglandin. This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions can be started or the body temperature can be raised.
Caffeine: This active ingredient acts primarily on the cerebral cortex. Due to its stimulating effect, it temporarily relieves symptoms of fatigue in tired people and increases performance. It also causes the cerebral vessels to constrict, which has a beneficial effect on headaches and migraines. Taken together with painkillers, it is said to support their pain-relieving effect.
