How Dexibuprofen + Paracetamol/acetaminophen works

  • Dexibuprofen + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a combination used to manage pain and reduce inflammation.

  • Dexibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID). It works by blocking a particular enzyme in the body called cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme helps produce prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

  • Paracetamol, or acetaminophen, is an analgesic and antipyretic. It is thought to primarily work in the brain, also by inhibiting certain COX enzymes. These enzymes help make prostaglandins that signal pain and regulate body temperature.
