Mode of action

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient belongs to a group of substances that act both against pain and inflammation and can reduce fever. All three effects are primarily based on the inhibition of an endogenous substance called prostaglandin. This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions can be started or the body temperature can be raised.

- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already using before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
- Consumption of alcohol should be avoided as far as possible during long-term treatment . Occasional alcohol consumption in small amounts is allowed, but not with the drug.
