Febrol Extra Tablet

Febrol Extra Tablet combines two active ingredients: Paracetamol & Caffeine, to provide enhanced relief from pain and discomfort. Paracetamol, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic, alleviates mild to moderate pain and reduces fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the brain. Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, is included to potentiate the analgesic effect of Paracetamol. By increasing the absorption rate and enhancing the effectiveness of Paracetamol, Caffeine helps to achieve quicker and more effective pain relief. This combination is particularly useful for managing headaches, migraines, and other types of pain where a faster onset of action is desirable.
