Off-label Uses

Acenod Oral Suspension works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps reduce pain and fever, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain.

Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which helps reduce pain and fever. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.

• Effective Pain Relief — Quickly alleviates mild to moderate pain.
• Reduces Fever — Helps in lowering body temperature during fever.
• Anti-inflammatory — Reduces swelling and inflammation in joints.

Initial improvement in pain and fever can be observed within 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking the suspension. Full therapeutic effects for inflammation may take a few days. If there is no improvement in symptoms after 3 days, consult a doctor.
