2. Uses of Aztalxan
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen or N - acetyl - p - aminophenol) is known to be an active metabolite of phenacetin. At the same time, it is also a highly effective pain reliever and fever reducer that can replace Aspirin. However, unlike aspirin, paracetamol is not very effective in treating inflammation. At the same dose (in grams), paracetamol exhibits analgesic and antipyretic effects similar to aspirin.
Not only that, Paracetamol also lowers body temperature in people with high fever. However, it rarely lowers body temperature in normal people. The drug acts on the hypothalamus, thereby lowering heat, increasing thermogenesis due to vasodilatation and increased peripheral blood flow.
When treated with small doses, Paracetamol has little effect on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and does not change the acid - base balance, does not irritate, scratch or bleed the stomach like when used salicylates. The reason is that Paracetamol does not affect the systemic cyclooxygenase, instead only affects the cyclooxygenase/prostaglandin of the central nervous system. The drug also did not affect platelets or bleeding time. Because of that, Aztalxan is indicated for the following cases:
Patients with arthritis, bursitis, myositis, back pain, rheumatism and sports injuries caused. Relieve pain and reduce inflammation in dentistry, obstetrics or orthopedics. Helps relieve headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps or cancer pain. Antipyretic.
