DUFEN PLUS TAB

Product Description:

Dufen Plus Tablet is a combination of Nimesulide and Paracetamol, offering a dual approach to managing pain and fever. Nimesulide is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that reduces inflammation with fewer gastrointestinal side effects, while Paracetamol adds analgesic and antipyretic support. It is used for various painful conditions including dental pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and fever-related discomfort.

Key Benefits:

• Effective for short-term relief of mild to moderate pain and fever
• Nimesulide selectively inhibits COX-2, making it relatively gentler on the stomach than non-selective NSAIDs
• Paracetamol enhances the overall pain-relieving and fever-reducing effect
• Suitable for dental pain, headache, period pain, and post-injury discomfort

How It Works:

Nimesulide preferentially inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that mediate pain and inflammation. Paracetamol acts in the central nervous system to increase the pain threshold and lower elevated body temperature. The combination offers broader and more effective symptom control than a single agent alone.
