How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Vriace P Oral Suspension works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol relieves pain and reduces fever, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body.
Scientifically, Paracetamol acts centrally in the brain to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and fever. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain.
