Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): A pain reliever and fever reducer.
Caffeine: A central nervous system stimulant that can enhance paracetamol's analgesic effect.
Relief of mild to moderate pain, such as headache, muscle aches, and backache.
Reduction of fever.
Paracetamol reduces fever and pain through a mechanism not fully understood, but believed to involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in the central nervous system. Caffeine enhances paracetamol's analgesic effect by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, increasing alertness and potentially enhancing pain relief.
