How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Eepar Tablet works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while Nimesulide decreases inflammation and swelling.
The mechanism of action involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the formation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing their production, Eepar Tablet effectively alleviates these symptoms.
