How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Nimozer P works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while Nimesulide targets inflammation and pain at the site of injury or discomfort.
Scientifically, Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system, inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Nimesulide also inhibits COX but has a more pronounced effect on COX-2, which is responsible for inflammation. This dual action helps in effectively managing pain and inflammation.
