Parapet 50mg/500mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications known as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or pain killer. Parapet 50mg/500mg Tablet is widely useful for treating painful musculoskeletal joint conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Parapet 50mg/500mg Tablet contains Diclofenac (analgesic) and Paracetamol (fever reducer/mild analgesic), effective against painful musculoskeletal pain, joint pain, and skeletal muscle spasms. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. On the other hand, paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer), enhancing Diclofenac's pain relief action.

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, fractures, arthritis, and injury.

Musculoskeletal pain: It is generally caused by disorders of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or a combination. Injuries (mostly sports-related) are the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain. Muscle pain (myalgia) can be caused due to injury, infection, loss of blood flow to the muscle, infection, or a tumour. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains, trauma, or post-surgery may require prolonged healing time.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disorder, which occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. It can damage any joint, affecting your hands, knees, hips and spine joints.

Ankylosing spondylitis: Ankylosing spondylitis is the painful condition in which fused bones of your spinal cord or vertebrae gets inflamed, leading to hunched spine.
