How does Crocin 650 work?

Crocin 650 contains Paracetamol as its main active ingredient.

Paracetamol is a Non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and other signs of inflammation.

It works by inhibiting the COX (Cyclo oxygenase) enzymes which further blocks prostaglandin secretion.

Prostaglandins are accountable for producing inflammatory signs and inhibition of prostaglandin aids in providing relief from the symptoms

Paracetamol selectively inhibits the COX enzymes in brain which aids for its analgesic and antipyretic property.
