ETOS P TABLET 10'S

How ETOS P TABLET 10'S Works

• ETOS P TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate pain and inflammation. It combines Etodolac and Paracetamol, each contributing uniquely to its overall effectiveness.
• Etodolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances in the body that contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes (specifically COX-1 and COX-2), Etodolac reduces the synthesis of these prostaglandins, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Its relatively selective COX-2 inhibition helps minimize gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.
• Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, works through a different mechanism. While its exact mechanism is not fully understood, it is believed to primarily act in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Paracetamol reduces fever by affecting the area of the brain that regulates body temperature (the hypothalamus). It also has analgesic (pain-relieving) properties, likely due to its involvement in various pain pathways. Paracetamol is thought to elevate the pain threshold, meaning it takes more to feel pain.
• When combined, Etodolac and Paracetamol provide synergistic pain relief. Etodolac addresses the inflammatory component of pain, while Paracetamol raises the pain threshold and reduces fever. This combination allows for effective management of pain conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and musculoskeletal pain, by targeting multiple pathways involved in pain and inflammation.
• In summary, ETOS P TABLET 10'S works by Etodolac reducing prostaglandin production, thereby decreasing inflammation and pain, while Paracetamol reduces fever and elevates the pain threshold. Together, they provide comprehensive relief from pain and inflammation.
