How Dexketoprofen + Paracetamol/acetaminophen works

  • Dexketoprofen + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a combination analgesic.

  • Dexketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine. It works by inhibiting enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) that lead to the reduction of prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins are substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. By limiting their production, dexketoprofen eases pain and decreases inflammation.

  • Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a centrally acting pain reliever and fever reducer. It is thought to work by preventing the production of prostaglandins in the brain and peripheral tissues, which helps to reduce pain signals. It also acts on the heat-regulating centre in the brain to lower body temperature when you have a fever.
