Benorylate

Benorylate (or benorilate) is an ester prodrug of aspirin and paracetamol. It is used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. As a prodrug, benorylate is metabolised in the body to release the two active compounds.

Pharmacology

Benorylate is an ester prodrug, meaning it is metabolised in the body to produce its active compounds. In the case of benorylate, these are aspirin and paracetamol. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Paracetamol is a common analgesic and antipyretic that is used to relieve pain and reduce fever.

Uses

Benorylate is used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including arthritis, headache, muscle pain, and fever. It is also used to reduce inflammation and pain in the joints and muscles.

Side Effects

Like all medications, benorylate can cause side effects. These can include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and bleeding. In rare cases, it can cause serious side effects such as liver damage or kidney damage.

Contraindications

Benorylate should not be used by people who are allergic to aspirin or paracetamol. It should also not be used by people with severe liver or kidney disease, or by people who have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding.
