WHAT IS IN FEBRIDOL AND FEBRIDOL CLEAR TABLETS?
FEBRIDOL tablets contain the active ingredient paracetamol 500 mg.
HOW DO FEBRIDOL TABLETS WORK?
The body has many nerve endings that can sense pain. When cells in the body are injured or damaged, chemicals called prostaglandins are released. Nerve endings that sense pain are very sensitive to these chemicals. When prostaglandins are released, nerve endings react by transmitting the pain sensations through the nervous system to the brain. FEBRIDOL and FEBRIDOL CLEAR tablets reduce the pain signals in the brain.
The paracetamol in FEBRIDOL also reduces body temperature in the event of fever.
HOW LONG DO FEBRIDOL TABLETS TAKE TO WORK?
Generally, FEBRIDOL tablets start having their effect soon after the very first dose.
