Etodolac + Paracetamol

Etodolac + Paracetamol is a combination medication commonly used for pain management. Etodolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling, while Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic that helps reduce pain and fever. This combination is used for conditions such as arthritis, back pain, muscle pain, and other forms of acute pain. It works by targeting pain at two different pathways, providing more effective relief than either drug alone.
