How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

Acetylsalicylic acid: The active ingredient has an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect at the same time. It blocks the formation of certain messenger substances in the body, known as prostaglandins. These are significantly involved in the development of pain, fever and inflammation.
Blood clotting is also influenced by acetylsalicylic acid. The substance prevents the blood platelets (thrombocytes) from clumping together and thus improves the blood's ability to flow.

Paracetamol: This active ingredient has an analgesic and antipyretic effect. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties. It blocks the formation of certain messenger substances in the body, known as prostaglandins. These are significantly involved in the development of pain, fever and inflammation.

Caffeine: This active ingredient acts primarily on the cerebral cortex. Thanks to its stimulating effect, it temporarily relieves symptoms of fatigue and increases performance. It also causes the cerebral vessels to constrict, which has a beneficial effect on headaches and migraines. Taken together with painkillers, it is said to support their pain-relieving effect.
