calprofen has a mix of paracetamol and nurofen hence the smaller dose??

Not sure btut thats my logic

 

[rhian85]

NO CHECKED INGREDIENTS AND ITS JUST IBUPROFEN IN CALPROFEN.....

 

[amzhunny]

Not sure hun sorry xx

Just always follow the dosage on the bottle, some medicines are more concentrate, if you're concerned ask your HV or GP about it
