How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Aester-SP Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body. Paracetamol also helps reduce pain and fever.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, compounds that mediate inflammation. Paracetamol is thought to inhibit COX enzymes in the brain, which helps reduce pain and fever.
