How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Acloriz-SP Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body. Paracetamol is an analgesic that helps relieve pain and reduce fever.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, substances that mediate inflammation and pain. Paracetamol works centrally in the brain to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, providing an analgesic effect.
