🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine works primarily in the central nervous system. It reduces pain by increasing the pain threshold, making the brain less sensitive to pain signals. It also acts on the hypothalamus to lower fever by promoting heat loss through sweating and vasodilation. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the brain, while having little effect on prostaglandins in peripheral tissues, which explains its lack of anti-inflammatory action.
