How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Aps Super Plus Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals to the brain and reducing fever.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation. Paracetamol acts centrally by inhibiting the COX enzymes in the brain, which helps in pain relief and fever reduction.
