How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Rsulide P works by combining two medications that help relieve pain and reduce fever. Paracetamol is an analgesic that blocks pain signals in the brain, while Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation.
Paracetamol primarily works in the central nervous system, inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote pain and fever. Nimesulide, on the other hand, works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of inflammatory substances. Together, they provide effective relief from pain and inflammation.
