How Lorflex Plus 8/500 MG Tablet 10 Works?

Lorflex Plus 8/500 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Lornoxicam (8 mg): As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), lornoxicam works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes are crucial in creating prostaglandin substances that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking their production, lornoxicam helps reduce these symptoms.
Paracetamol (500 mg): This ingredient is a para-aminophenol derivative with analgesic properties that act centrally; in other words, it targets the central nervous system (CNS). It also has a fever-reducing effect by acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre.
