How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Acceclomax Plus works by combining the effects of two medications. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which helps to reduce pain and fever.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, leading to decreased formation of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. Paracetamol primarily acts on the central nervous system, where it inhibits the COX enzymes, resulting in analgesic and antipyretic effects without significant anti-inflammatory activity.
