What does not contain ibraprofen?

Hi ladies,
I have a cold/flu and I’m on a 7 days self quarantine just incase. I’ve been taking paracetamol but my oh bought me lemsip col and flu capsules with paracetamol.
I googled them and for some reason online it said contains ibraprofen which I want to avoid. Can anybody who is familiar with this medication confirm it’s ok to take?
The leaflet within doesn’t mention ibraprofen but want to make sure. Thank you x

If it contains ibuprofen it will state it clearly on the pack and the paper insert.

Lemsip only contains paracetamol, not ibuprofen. So you have to take it INSTEAD of a dose of paracetamol or you'll have taken too much. You can take with with ibuprofen.
Nb I'm not a doctor but I'm fairly sure if you read the leaflet inside the lemsip box it will say similar.

Look at the back and it will list that it contains paracetamol, a decongestant and possibly vitamin c.

Can you post a link to where you found it says they contain inbuprofen?

Exactly what part of the internet told you that this paracetamol based product contains ibuprofen?

🙈😂 sorry girls I’m very paranoid! Making sure I’m only taking paracetamol. I think I saw lemsip capsules but it wasn’t the same box front like mine it didn’t say paracetamol and I wasn’t sure if it might be combined. X
