How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Bitnac P Syrup works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps reduce fever and relieve pain by blocking certain chemicals in the brain that cause pain and fever. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
Scientifically, Paracetamol inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system and works peripherally to block pain impulse generation. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
