Medicine Description Aspirina-C 400/240 mg
Aspirina C 400/240 mg effervescent tablets is a medication that combines acetylsalicylic acid and ascorbic acid. Acetylsalicylic acid acts as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), leading to a reduction in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical messengers that play a pivotal role in the inflammatory response and pain pathways, thus alleviating discomfort associated with various conditions. Additionally, ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, contributes to the immune system's functioning and provides antioxidant support, potentially enhancing the body’s defense against infections and helping to reduce the duration of cold symptoms.
