Aceflam P works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body. Paracetamol, on the other hand, works centrally in the brain to relieve pain and reduce fever.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, substances that mediate inflammation and pain. Paracetamol is believed to inhibit the COX enzyme in the brain, leading to its analgesic and antipyretic effects.
