How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Avgesic P Syrup works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps reduce fever and relieve pain, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain.
Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals that cause pain and fever. Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
