AKILOS P TABLET 10'S

How AKILOS P TABLET 10'S Works

• AKILOS P Tablet is a combination medication designed to alleviate pain and inflammation. It contains two active ingredients: Aceclofenac and Paracetamol, which work through different mechanisms to provide synergistic pain relief.
• Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that primarily inhibits the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation. By blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for prostaglandin synthesis, Aceclofenac effectively reduces inflammation and associated pain, offering relief from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Its selective COX-2 inhibition helps minimize gastrointestinal side effects often associated with traditional NSAIDs.
• Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, works through a different pathway. While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, it's believed that Paracetamol primarily acts centrally in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain and fever. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system and may also affect other pain pathways. Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol has minimal anti-inflammatory effects. However, it enhances the analgesic effect of Aceclofenac when used in combination.
• The combined action of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol in AKILOS P Tablet provides a more comprehensive approach to pain management. Aceclofenac targets inflammation at the site of the pain, while Paracetamol raises the pain threshold and reduces fever. This combination can be particularly effective in managing various types of pain, including musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and post-operative pain. It's important to note that while AKILOS P Tablet can effectively relieve pain and inflammation, it is crucial to use it as directed by a healthcare professional to minimize potential side effects and ensure safe use. Always inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking before starting AKILOS P Tablet.

Like all medicines, Akilos P Tablet can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and skin rash or itching. Some less common but potentially serious side effects could include allergic reactions (such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), liver problems (such as jaundice, dark urine, fatigue), kidney problems (such as changes in urine output, swelling in the legs or ankles), stomach ulcers or bleeding (such as black, tarry stools, vomiting blood), and cardiovascular problems (such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat). Long-term use of Akilos P may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, stop taking Akilos P and consult your doctor immediately. This is not an exhaustive list; other side effects may occur. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more complete information.
