Paracetamol/Vitamine C Htp (Ascorbic Acid, Paracetamol)

Paracetamol/Vitamine C Htp combines an analgesic/antipyretic with a vitamin, acting on pain‑fever pathways and supporting immune health.

• Fever: Reduces elevated body temperature associated with infection or inflammation.
• Headache: Alleviates mild to moderate tension‑type or migraine‑associated headache.
• Common cold: Provides symptomatic relief of pain and fever while supporting immune response.
• Post‑operative pain: Assists in managing mild to moderate pain after minor surgical procedures.
• Vitamin C deficiency: Supplements dietary shortfall of ascorbic acid.
• Musculoskeletal aches: Eases discomfort from muscle strain or minor joint pain.

• Paracetamol reduces fever and relieves pain by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin synthesis in the brain. Ascorbic acid acts as an essential antioxidant, participating in collagen synthesis and supporting various enzymatic reactions that protect cells from oxidative stress.
