Imol Plus Tablet 10's

Imol Plus Tablet is used to relieve pain. Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-lasting (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is, for a short time, caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused by pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, etc. Besides this, it is also useful for dental pain, which can occur due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury.

Imol Plus Tablet is composed of three medicines: Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Caffeine. Together, they relieve symptoms of arthritis and dysmenorrhea (painful periods or menstrual cramps) and reduce fever. Ibuprofen is known to have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect for reducing mild to moderate pain. It works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and antipyretic (fever reducer). It lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and by promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Caffeine acts as a common stimulant, added to speed up the action of ibuprofen and paracetamol in relieving pain and reducing inflammation. Together all these three medicines help in reducing mild to moderate pain in a shorter duration.

Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is, for a short time, caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. While, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury. Many women have painful periods known as dysmenorrhea, most often menstrual cramps. On the other hand, Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in chronic pain in joints (especially knee) and stiffness, making daily tasks difficult.
