Acifon-SP Tablet works by blocking the action of certain chemical messengers in the body that are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. This helps in reducing symptoms like swelling, pain, and stiffness.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, compounds that mediate inflammation and pain. Paracetamol works centrally to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the brain, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.

• Anti-inflammatory — Decreases swelling and inflammation.
• Combination Therapy — Utilizes two active ingredients for enhanced effectiveness.
