Neopap is an antipyretic and analgesic medicine primarily used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain associated with common cold, flu, toothaches, arthritis, menstrual cramps, and other conditions. Neopap is most commonly used by people who are sensitive or allergic to aspirin. Although, it is not effective against inflammation, compared to Aspirin or Ibuprofen it is well tolerated by most people, including children and has few side effects.
