HOW SARIDON TABLET WORKS
SARIDON HEADACHE RELIEF TABLET helps with pain, where caffeine has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system by blocking adenosine receptors and improving alertness and drowsiness. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that works by increasing the pain threshold by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes and also acts on the heat-regulating center of the brain, causing peripheral vasodilation, sweating, and loss of body heat. Propyphenazone works by blocking the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, which are responsible for pain and inflammation.
