How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Acelio P Oral Suspension works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps to reduce fever and relieve pain by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the brain. Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the enzymes that produce prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation and pain.
Scientifically, Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, while Aceclofenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation pathways.
