Description
Citramon Forte Capsules
Ingredients:
Citramon forte capsules contain paracetamol, caffeine, and acetylsalicylic acid as active ingredients.
Mechanism of Action:
Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins in the brain, reducing pain and fever. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, enhancing the analgesic effects of paracetamol. Acetylsalicylic acid blocks the production of certain pain and inflammation-causing chemicals in the body.

The combination of paracetamol, caffeine, and acetylsalicylic acid in Citramon forte capsules provides effective pain relief with a faster onset of action compared to individual components alone.
