🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two analgesics with different mechanisms. Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system to reduce pain and fever, though its exact mechanism is not fully understood. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, leading to decreased production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation.
