Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The tablet medication is considered effective, since its active components are absorbed into the systemic circulation almost immediately after entering the digestive tract.

The medication quickly reduces body temperature, which is explained by the presence of an increased dosage of paracetamol in the composition. This ingredient belongs to the first substances from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory components. That is why the drug additionally has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Paracetamol has the ability to block substances that provoke the inflammatory process, which leads to improvement, helps prevent the development of complications.

The medication also has another effect on the body:

• Blocks the activity of histamine receptors, which can provoke complications in the form of an allergic reaction. For example, allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis significantly worsens the condition and slows down the healing process. Due to the presence of an anti-allergic component, an antihistamine effect is achieved.
• A decrease in body temperature helps to improve the general condition, eliminate weakness.
• Elimination of headaches and dizziness also has a beneficial effect on the general condition. Some patients report improved sleep, while prolonged fever leads to sleep disturbance.
• The analgesic effect helps to relieve muscle and joint pain. This symptom is often observed with an increase in body temperature.
• The psychostimulant effect of caffeine helps prevent a decrease in brain performance during illness. Many patients note the inhibition of reactions and deterioration in concentration. Taking the drug helps to maintain mental performance.
• Experts also note the ability of the drug to prevent the appearance of edema, which can aggravate the condition.

The complex effect of the drug on the body helps at an early stage to stop severe manifestations of the common cold, and when it is running - to prevent the development of severe complications, accompanied by damage to the lower respiratory ways.

When the drug enters the digestive tract, the tablet dissolves in the small intestine, and the components of the composition penetrate the systemic circulation. The ingredients quickly have a therapeutic effect, and their maximum concentration is reached 1 hour after taking a single therapeutic dose.

The substances of the composition bind to plasma proteins, their bioavailability ranges from 80-90%, which is considered a high indicator. The processing of components is carried out in the liver of patients, where they are broken down into metabolites.

For 8-12 hours, the decay products of active substances are evacuated with the help of the kidneys. If the patient has a history of complications from the paired organ, the withdrawal of the ingredients can slow down somewhat, which does not affect the therapeutic effect, but can provoke their accumulation in the body.
