pharmachologic effect

Speaking about the pharmacological action of the drug Paracetamol Extratab, both main components of the drug should be mentioned. So, paracetamol has the ability to effectively lower body temperature, and anesthetize. This becomes possible, due to the properties of this active substance, to block the action of certain groups of enzymes in the central nervous system, which affects the work of pain and thermoregulatory centers in the human brain. The anti-inflammatory effect is not typical for paracetamol, since the protective mechanisms of the inflamed cells neutralize paracetamol. The drug does not harm the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines, does not cause a delay in the body fluids and sodium compounds. The drug is well absorbed by the body. The maximum concentration of paracetamol in the blood of a healthy person occurs no later than 2 hours after taking the medicine. The effect of taking the drug occurs after its concentration reaches 10-15 mg per kilogram of patient weight. Paracetamol effectively penetrates the blood-brain barrier, processed by the liver, excreted through the kidneys and the genitourinary system. Ascorbic acid refers to substances that the human body is not able to synthesize on its own. Participates in the formation of immunity, stimulating the production of interferon proteins that help fight viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Vitamin C also helps to cope with inflammatory processes, intoxication, stimulates wound healing, and is involved in the production of steroids by the adrenal glands. Ascorbic acid has the ability to accumulate in almost all organs and tissues of the human body. They are excreted through the genitourinary, excretory systems, as well as through the sweat glands.
