How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
The syrup works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps reduce pain and fever, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain.
Paracetamol inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for causing pain and fever. Aceclofenac is an NSAID that blocks the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing inflammation and pain.
