Mechanism of Action

It works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol is a pain reliever and fever reducer that works by inhibiting the production of certain substances in the brain.

Common side effects may include nausea, stomach pain, heartburn, dizziness, and headache. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, or unusual bleeding or bruising, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Aceker M may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, certain antidepressants, and other NSAIDs. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements, to avoid any potential drug interactions. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide guidance on the safe use of Aceker M in combination with other medications.
