How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Nimfe Plus works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol mainly acts in the brain to reduce pain and fever, while Nimesulide works at the site of inflammation to decrease 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, Nimfe Plus effectively alleviates these symptoms.
