ELDOFEN SP TABLET 15'S

How ELDOFEN SP TABLET 15'S Works

• ELDOFEN SP TABLET 15'S is a combination medicine designed to alleviate pain and inflammation. It contains three active ingredients: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase, each working through different mechanisms to provide comprehensive relief.
• Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), functions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for prostaglandin synthesis, Aceclofenac effectively reduces these symptoms, providing relief from pain and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, is an analgesic and antipyretic. While its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is believed to work primarily in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Paracetamol reduces fever by affecting the area of the brain that regulates body temperature. It also elevates the pain threshold, meaning it reduces the perception of pain. Paracetamol is particularly effective for headaches, muscle aches, and fever.
• Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme, meaning it breaks down proteins. It helps reduce inflammation by breaking down inflammatory mediators and improving the penetration of antibiotics and other medications to the affected area. By breaking down these proteins, Serratiopeptidase aids in the resolution of swelling, pain, and inflammation, particularly in post-operative or post-traumatic conditions. It also helps in thinning the mucus, which is beneficial in respiratory conditions. The combined effect of these three ingredients results in a synergistic action, offering significant pain relief and reducing inflammation more effectively than any single ingredient alone. This makes ELDOFEN SP TABLET 15'S a powerful option for managing various painful and inflammatory conditions.
