How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Ravinim P works by combining two active ingredients. Paracetamol helps to block pain signals in the brain, while Nimesulide reduces inflammation by inhibiting certain enzymes involved in the inflammatory process.
Paracetamol primarily acts in the central nervous system, while Nimesulide works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. This dual action makes the medication effective for treating pain and inflammation.
