About Dexigesic P 300mg/500mg Tablet

Dexigesic P 300mg/500mg Tablet relieves mild to moderate pain such as headache, migraine, period pain, dental pain, backache, rheumatic and muscular pain, sore throat, fever, and cold and flu symptoms. Pain is an unpleasant feeling that is caused by injury or illness. Fever is a higher-than-normal body temperature, usually above 98.6°F (37°C).

Dexigesic P 300mg/500mg Tablet is composed of two medicines, namely Dexibuprofen and Paracetamol. Dexibuprofen is known to have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect for reducing mild to moderate pain. It works by blocking the impact of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is 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 promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help reduce inflammation in the tissue.
  • Please do not go for heavy exercise, as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do low-impact aerobic exercises like walking on the treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
  • In the chronic condition of arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fish are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids and a minimum level of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
  • Your sitting posture is essential, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimize pain at the back of your spine curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.
