It achieves these effects by blocking specific chemical messengers and pathways in the brain that are involved in transmitting signals related to pain and fever. By interrupting these signals, Ace Syrup provides relief from pain and helps to lower body temperature.

Indication

Painkillers like Ace Syrup are frequently used to relieve aches and pains. It functions by preventing the brain's chemical messengers from alerting us to pain.

Pharmacology

Ace is a paracetamol formulation that is one of the safest and most widely used analgesics and antipyretics. Ace causes analgesia by raising the pain threshold and antipyresis by acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center. Ace has significantly fewer side effects than aspirin and other NSAIDs and is unlikely to cause many of the serious side effects associated with aspirin and other NSAIDs. Ace is absorbed rapidly and completely from the G.I.T. after oral administration and from the rectum after rectal administration. Absorption from the upper small intestine has a half-life of only 7 minutes. The medication is extensively metabolized in the liver and has a plasma half-life ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 hours. Ace is not at all bound to plasma proteins.
