Medicine Description rowapraxin-forte 20mg
Rowapraxin forte 20 mg Tablets is a medication that combines ibuprofen and paracetamol, both of which play a significant role in alleviating pain and reducing fever. Ibuprofen functions as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), leading to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances in the body that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. Paracetamol, on the other hand, is thought to exert its effects primarily in the central nervous system, where it helps to inhibit the COX enzyme and promotes heat dissipation. The dual action of these two active ingredients provides effective relief from various types of pain and fever.
