How does Abenol work? What will Abenol do for me?
Abenol belongs to a group of medicines called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). Abenol works quickly to relieve pain caused by conditions such as headache, osteoarthritis, and muscle pain and to reduce fever caused by infection. Unlike acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which is also an analgesic and antipyretic, Abenol does not reduce inflammation.
Abenol is used by itself as well as in combination medication products for cough, cold, and pain relief.
Your doctor may choose to use Abenol for other
reasons not listed here. If you're unsure why you are taking
Abenol, please ask your doctor.
