Properties:
A combination drug that has analgesic, antispasmodic, and antipyretic effects.
Paracetamol is a non-narcotic analgesic that has an antipyretic and analgesic effect due to the blockade of cyclooxygenase in the central nervous system and the effect on pain and thermoregulation centers.
Caffeine – causes dilation of blood vessels of skeletal muscles, heart, kidneys; increases mental and physical performance, helps eliminate fatigue and drowsiness; increases the permeability of histohematic barriers and increases the bioavailability of non-narcotic analgesics, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect. Has a tonic effect on the blood vessels of the brain.
Drotaverine – has a myotropic antispasmodic effect due to the inhibition of phosphodiesterase IV, acts on the smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, genitourinary and vascular systems.
