Etodolac + Paracetamol/acetaminophen

Uses of Etodolac + Paracetamol/acetaminophen

  • The primary use of Etodolac + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is to manage mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It falls under the category of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics/antipyretics.
  • This combination is also prescribed for managing pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis), headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and backache.

Side effects of Etodolac + Paracetamol/acetaminophen

  • Stomach pain
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness

How Etodolac + Paracetamol/acetaminophen works

  • Etodolac + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a combination pain reliever and fever reducer.
  • Etodolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID), works by blocking the production of chemicals in the body called prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. It inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are crucial for prostaglandin production.
  • Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, is an analgesic and antipyretic. It is believed to reduce pain and lower fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins within the brain and spinal cord. Scientists are still unsure of the exact way it achieves this.
  • Together, these two components provide effective relief from pain and help reduce fever.
