How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Niway Plus works by combining two active ingredients: Paracetamol and Nimesulide. Paracetamol helps to relieve pain and reduce fever, while Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain. Together, they provide effective relief from various types of pain and discomfort.
The scientific mechanism involves Paracetamol acting on the brain to block pain signals and lower body temperature. Nimesulide inhibits enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a key role in the production of inflammatory substances in the body. This dual action makes Niway Plus effective for treating pain and inflammation.
