How Aceclofenac and Paracetamol Syrup work

Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It works by inhibiting the effect of chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which are responsible for producing pain and inflammation.

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It works by blocking the action of chemical messengers responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation.

The combination of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol in syrup form provides a more convenient way of administering the medication for pain relief, especially in individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.
