Description

COMPOSITION
Ace® Power Tablet: Each tablet contains Paracetamol BP 1000mg.
PHARMACOLOGY
Ace® Power is the formulation of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen)
which is one of the safest and most widely used analgesic and
antipyretic. Ace® Power produces analgesic action by elevation
of the pain threshold and antipyresis through action on the
hypothalamic heat regulating center. Ace® Power exerts
significantly milder side effects and most unlikely to produce
many of the serious side effects associated with aspirin and
other NSAIDs.Paracetamol is rapidly and completely absorbed from the GIT
following oral administration and from rectum after rectal
administration. The mean half-life of absorption from the upper
small intestine is only 7 minutes. The drug is extensively
metabolized in the liver and it has a plasma half life of 1.5 to 3.0
hours. Paracetamol is not bound to plasma proteins to any
extent.
