Ace 125 mg

Description

Indications:

Ace is a trusted solution for managing fever, common cold, and flu-related symptoms. It effectively relieves headaches, toothaches, earaches, body aches, muscle pain, neuralgia, menstrual cramps, sprains, colic pain, back pain, post-operative and postpartum pain, inflammatory pain, and pain following vaccinations. Additionally, Ace is beneficial for easing discomfort associated with rheumatic conditions, osteoarthritis, and joint stiffness.

How It Works:

Ace contains Paracetamol (Acetaminophen), a widely used analgesic and antipyretic agent. It alleviates pain by blocking pain signals at the peripheral nervous system level and reduces fever by acting on the brain’s hypothalamic heat-regulating center. Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol does not have strong anti-inflammatory effects, making it a safer option for individuals who cannot tolerate aspirin or other pain relievers.
