Medicine Description temporal 250mg
Temporal 250mg Syrup is a medication that primarily functions by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which play a crucial role in the perception of pain and the regulation of body temperature. By acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center, it effectively lowers elevated body temperatures. The analgesic effect is attributed to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to a decrease in pain signals transmitted through the central nervous system. As a result, it offers relief from various pains and reduces fever without causing significant anti-inflammatory effects.
