According to SAEDNEWS, Axar is an analgesic and antipyretic drug, also known as ASA.
Axar tablets (ACA) are a combination of acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid used to relieve mild to moderate pain caused by migraine headaches and to reduce fever. The caffeine contained in this product helps prevent dizziness and secondary symptoms during colds. This drug is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted through urine.
Axar is also known as the two-colored tablet or white-pink tablet.
The combination of acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid is used to relieve mild to moderate pain caused by migraine headaches and to reduce fever. The caffeine in this product helps prevent dizziness and secondary complications of the common cold.
Caffeine is a mild central nervous system stimulant and causes constriction of cerebral blood vessels; this effect may help relieve headaches. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of this drug are related to acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid.
Caffeine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Its plasma protein binding is low. It is metabolized in the liver and has a half-life of 3–4 hours. Acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid are also well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; absorption of acetylsalicylic acid is reduced with food. Its half-life is about 15–20 minutes, and both drugs are metabolized in the liver. Acetaminophen is minimally bound to plasma proteins, while aspirin is highly protein-bound. Peak plasma concentration of aspirin occurs 1–2 hours after intake, and for acetaminophen about 0.5–2 hours after intake. All three components are excreted via the kidneys.
The exact dosage of this drug should be determined under a physician’s supervision, but in general for adults, one tablet every 3 hours is recommended, with a maximum of 8 tablets per day.
For children aged 2 to 12 years, the dosage is as follows:
Children 9 to 12 years: one Axar tablet every 4 to 6 hours. Maximum daily dose: 5 tablets.
Children 4 to 9 years: half a tablet every 4 to 6 hours.
Children 2 to 4 years: one-third of a tablet every 4 to 6 hours.
