Description
Ibuprofen belongs to a group of drugs known as Non steroidal anti inflammatory drug(NSAID), and is a clinically proven anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic. Ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative and one of the safest NSAID.
Dolomec tablet/suspension is very widely used because it has very good analgesic and antipyretic action of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) combined with excellent analgesic, anti-inflammatory activity of Ibuprofen.
Dolomec acts at two levels. Paracetamol acts centrally and Ibuprofen acts peripherally providing effective control of Pain, Fever and Inflammation.
Racemethionine prevents possible hepato-toxicity that may be caused by large scale consumption of Paracetamol. Normally the Paracetamol metabolite is detoxified by glutathione. Hepatotoxicity occurs when glutathione levels are depleted. Racemethionine is converted in the liver to cystine, which is an important precursor to glutathione.
