Flukomp Extratab is a combined preparation, the action of which is determined by the components that make up its composition.The combination of the three components of the drug leads to a mutual enhancement of their pharmacological action.
Paracetamol and propifenazone have an analgesic and antipyretic effect. Paracetamol non-narcotic analgesic. It blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) only in the central nervous system (CNS), affecting the centers of pain and thermoregulation (in cellular tissues, cellular peroxidases neutralize the effect of paracetamol on COX), which explains the almost complete absence of anti-inflammatory effect. The absence of influence on the synthesis of prostaglandins (PG) in peripheral tissues determines the absence of negative influence on it, on water-salt metabolism (sodium and water retention) and gastrointestinal tract mucosa (GIT). The possibility of methaemoglobin formation is unlikely.
Propyphenazone is a derivative of pyrazolone. The mechanism of action is carried out by inhibiting the COX involved in the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid.
Caffeine increases the reflex excitability of the spinal cord, excites the respiratory and vessel of the motor, centers, expands-the blood vessels of skeletal muscles brain, heart, kidneys, reduces platelet aggregation; reduces drowsiness, fatigue. In this combination caffeine in a small dose practically does not have a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, but it contributes to the regulation of the tone of the vessels of the brain.
