Caffeine + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen + Phenazone is categorized as an analgesic combination.
Caffeine enhances the analgesic effect of Paracetamol/Acetaminophen by increasing its absorption and reducing its metabolism. It also acts as a mild stimulant, promoting alertness and reducing fatigue.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain and fever. By reducing their levels in the central nervous system, it effectively relieves pain and reduces fever.
Phenazone, like Paracetamol/Acetaminophen, also inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, contributing to pain relief and fever reduction.
