Paracetamol
UNII 362O9ITL9D - ACETAMINOPHEN
|
|
Paracetamol is a medication used to treat pain and fever. It does appear to selectively inhibit COX activities in the brain, which may contribute to its ability to treat fever and pain. |
|
2
Acetylsalicylic acid
UNII R16CO5Y76E - ASPIRIN
|
|
Acetylsalicylic acid combines significant advantages such as strong anti-pyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory action, that is the measure of comparison with all the newer NSAIDs. |
|
3
Codeine
UNII Q830PW7520 - CODEINE
|
|
Codeine is a centrally acting weak analgesic. Codeine exerts its effect through ฮผ 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. |
