About Crocin Tablet

Crocin Tablet is a combination medication, which belongs to the class of analgesic medication. It is primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain, including headache, backache, migraine, rheumatic and muscle pain, toothache and period pain. On the other hand, it also relieves discomfort in colds, influenza, and sore throats and helps reduce temperature. Pain is caused by the activation of pain receptors due to the release of certain chemicals or enzymes.

Crocin Tablet contains paracetamol and caffeine. Paracetamol inhibits the release of these enzymes and alleviates pain. Caffeine increases the efficacy of paracetamol by improving its absorption, thereby prolonging analgesic action. Paracetamol also has an antipyretic effect and can reduce body temperature in cases of fever.

The common side effects of Crocin Tablet include agitation, nervousness, and insomnia.

In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

Ask your healthcare professional for advice if you have any concerns. Do not use Crocin Tablet in more than prescribed doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects.
