Anaflam XP works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. Paracetamol works by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain and reducing fever.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, which decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. Paracetamol, on the other hand, is thought to inhibit the COX enzyme in the brain, which helps reduce pain and fever.
