Medicine Description rheumafen 75mg
Rheumafen 75mg Tablets is a medication that combines diclofenac sodium and paracetamol to provide effective analgesic and antipyretic effects. Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, exerts its analgesic effects through the inhibition of the COX enzymes in the brain, contributing to its ability to reduce pain and fever. Together, these active ingredients target pain pathways in the body to alleviate discomfort associated with various conditions.
