How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Aurnac SP Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body. Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals to the brain and reducing fever.
Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, substances that mediate inflammation and pain. Paracetamol is believed to inhibit the COX enzyme in the brain, reducing pain and fever.
