How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Azpar 100mg/325mg Tablet works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by blocking the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the body. 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 formation of prostaglandins. Paracetamol acts centrally in the brain to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.
