HOW MEFTAGESIC P SUSPENSION WORKS
MEFTAGESIC P SUSPENSION helps to relieve fever and pain, where paracetamol acts on the hypothalamus (heat regulating center) of the brain, resulting in peripheral vasodilation, sweating, and loss of body heat, and it also increases the pain threshold by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, and mefenamic acid works by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, which are involved in prostaglandin synthesis (responsible for pain and inflammation).
