How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Sipace Oral Suspension works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps in reducing fever and relieving pain, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain.
Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals responsible for pain and fever. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the formation of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain.
