How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Asirest-SP Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that helps relieve pain and reduce fever.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, compounds that mediate inflammation and pain. Paracetamol, on the other hand, is believed to inhibit a variant of the COX enzyme in the brain, which helps reduce pain and fever.
