Segonac P Syrup works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps in reducing fever and relieving pain by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the brain. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing inflammatory chemicals.

Paracetamol acts centrally in the brain to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain and fever. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a key role in the formation of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.

• Effective Pain Relief — Quickly alleviates mild to moderate pain.
• Reduces Inflammation — Decreases swelling and discomfort in joints.
• Fever Reduction — Helps in lowering body temperature during fever.

Initial improvement in pain relief can be observed within 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking the syrup. Full therapeutic effects may take a few days, especially for inflammation reduction. If there is no improvement in symptoms after a few days, consult your doctor.
