Acetamol P Oral Suspension works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol acts as a pain reliever and fever reducer, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain.

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

• Effective Pain Relief — Provides quick relief from various types of pain.
• Reduces Inflammation — Helps in reducing swelling and inflammation.
• Fever Reduction — Lowers body temperature in febrile conditions.

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