Description
Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase Tablets come with the branding “MELCO-SP” and is a medication that falls under the category of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It’s a combination of three components: aceclofenac, paracetamol, and serratiopeptidase. This combination is used to reduce pain and inflammation resulting from injuries to bones or soft tissues, postoperative inflammation, swelling, and pain.
Aceclofenac blocks an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which is responsible for causing pain and swelling in damaged tissues. Paracetamol acts as a mild pain reliever and fever reducer, enhancing the pain relief effects of aceclofenac. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that breaks down a protein called fibrin, a by-product of clotted blood at the injury site. This helps in reducing fluid buildup around the injury, making drainage smoother in swollen tissues. Each composition in Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase Tablets not only reduces pain and inflammation but also helps in faster healing
