Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Pentazocine+Paracetamol / Acetaminophen is a mixture of two pain-relieving medications, Acetaminophen and Pentazocine. It is a mixture of two medications that treat pain in the joints and muscles for a brief period. Acetaminophen or paracetamol is an analgesic, and Pentazocine is an opioid. Acetaminophen prevents the release of chemical messengers in the body that produce pain and fever. Pentazocine reduces pain perception by blocking pain impulses from reaching the brain. It works by blocking the brain's neurotransmitters from signalling that we're in pain.
