This medicine works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the brain that cause pain and fever. Paracetamol acts mainly in the brain to reduce pain and fever, while Nimesulide has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and discomfort.

The scientific mechanism involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing their production, this combination effectively alleviates pain and lowers body temperature.
