Neptol P works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while Nimesulide helps decrease inflammation and swelling.

The scientific mechanism involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a key role in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are responsible for pain and inflammation. By reducing their production, Neptol P effectively alleviates discomfort and lowers fever.
