How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Zemonec-P Oral Suspension works by combining the effects of Paracetamol and Aceclofenac. Paracetamol helps reduce fever and relieve pain, while Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by blocking certain chemical messengers in the body.
Scientifically, Paracetamol inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for causing pain and fever. Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.

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