Saridon provides pain relief as fast as 30 minutes, after consumption, due to its unique triple action formula. Saridon is more efficacious than other analgesics such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, and aspirin. It has the advantages of fast onset of action and a combined analgesic effect. In a comparative study, patients with moderate to severe acute dentoalveolar pain were divided into five groups. Each group of patients were given one of the analgesics. The patients treated with saridon reported pain gone/partly gone and less pain when compared to paracetamol, ibuprofen, and aspirin 30 to 60 minutes after administering the medication. Therefore, the study provide that Saridon is a most effective pain killer.

Saridon reduces the pain caused by headache in 3 different ways.

Blocks Prostaglandin secretion:

Prostaglandin is a chemical that is released in tissues whenever there is damage or inflammation. Prostaglandin once released, activates nerves, which in turn relay the pain signal to the brain. All three ingredients of Saridon – Paracetamol, Propyphenazone and Caffeine – block prostaglandin production. In the absence of prostaglandin the pain signals are not initiated and the person feels relief.

Block pain signal transmission:

Pain can only be felt in the body if the necessary signals reach the brain. The signals are passed from one nerve to another, till the signal reaches the brain. Paracetamol present in Saridon blocks this transmission of the signal from one nerve to another. With no pain signal reaching the brain, the person does not feel the pain anymore.

Modulates the intensity of pain:

Once the pain signal reaches the brain, the brain decides on the intensity and severity of pain. Depending on this decision, the person will report the degree with which he or she is suffering. Paracetamol in Saridon helps to modulate this decision made by the brain and by doing so, decreases the perceived intensity of pain. Hence, when you take a Saridon, you will be able to tackle the pain better.
