How Napa 250mg Suppository works

Napa 250mg Suppository relieves pain by increasing the pain threshold by inhibiting certain enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) involved in the synthesis of chemicals responsible for inducing pain (prostaglandins). It reduces fever by directly acting on heat-regulating centers in the brain, resulting in vessel relaxation, sweating, and loss of body heat.

Pharmacology

Paracetamol is analgesic and antipyretic with just a little anti-inflammatory effect. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is considered to work largely in the central nervous system (CNS), raising the pain threshold by blocking both isoforms of the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1, COX-2, and COX-3, which are involved in prostaglandin (PG) production. Paracetamol is a para aminophenol derivative that possesses analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. One of the most commonly used, safest, and fastest-acting analgesics is paracetamol. It is well tolerated and devoid of aspirin's numerous adverse effects.
