How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Acip-Plus Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation, while Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing fever and pain.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which helps in reducing pain and fever.
