The drug APRANAX PLUS contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Naproxen
UNII 9TN87S3A3C - NAPROXEN SODIUM
|
|
Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic compound with antipyretic properties as has been demonstrated in classical animal test systems. Naproxen exhibits its anti-inflammatory effect even in adrenalectomised animals, indicating that its action is not mediated through the pituitary-adrenal axis. |
|
2
Codeine
UNII GSL05Y1MN6 - CODEINE PHOSPHATE
|
|
Codeine is a centrally acting weak analgesic. Codeine exerts its effect through μ opioid receptors, although codeine has low affinity for these receptors, and its analgesic effect is due to its conversion to morphine. Codeine, particularly in combination with other analgesics such as paracetamol, has been shown to be effective in acute nociceptive pain. The anti-tussive activity of codeine is probably due to its depressant effect on the medullary cough centre in the brain. |
