How it works:
• Calpol 650+ tablets help relieve pain and fever.
  
  Paracetamol (650mg): This is the main active ingredient. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins in your brain and spinal cord. Prostaglandins are substances that cause pain and fever. By reducing their production, paracetamol lowers your fever and eases your aches and pains. It doesn't directly affect inflammation.
  
  There are no other active ingredients listed in the name "Calpol 650+ TAB 15s". The "+” likely refers to the formulation or a specific characteristic of the tablet (e.g., faster release), not an additional active drug. Any other ingredients listed on the packaging will be inactive ingredients such as binders or fillers that help form the tablet and aren't responsible for the medicinal effect.
  
  
  In short, Calpol 650+ tablets work by targeting the body's pain and fever response mechanisms, making you feel more comfortable.
