Ecnim-P Tablet 10's belongs to a class of painkillers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Acute pain is caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone or other organs for a short time. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, 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.

It works by blocking the effect of a prostaglandin chemical responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our bodies. 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 promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Together it helps in reducing mild to moderate pain in a shorter duration.

Pain: 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. At the same time, chronic pain lasts for longer duration; it 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 the knee) and stiffness making daily tasks difficult.
