Medicine Description unicetamol 100 mg
unicetamol 100 mg oral drops is a medication that contains paracetamol, which acts primarily in the central nervous system. While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is known to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing their synthesis, paracetamol effectively alleviates pain and lowers elevated body temperature, making it a suitable choice for managing mild to moderate pain and fever in children.
