About Forgesic-SP 50mg/325mg/10mg Tablet

DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE belongs to the class of combination medication called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis. Besides this, it also helps treat muscle pain, tooth pain during dental surgery, menstrual period pain/cramps, ear pain, and migraine headaches. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Arthritis is the tenderness and swelling in the joints which causes pain and joint stiffness.

DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain, swelling, and fever. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever. On the other hand, Serratiopeptidase is a bacterial protein enzyme found in the silkworm which acts as a mucolytic (dissolves thick protein at the injured/affected site) and anti-inflammatory agent thereby decreasing swelling at the painful site. 
 
Take DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE with or without food. Swallow DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE as a whole with a glass of water, do not chew or break the tablet. You are advised to take DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Depending on your medical condition, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, indigestion, and diarrhea in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart surgery, do not take DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE. DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE increases the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding.

Medicinal Benefits of Forgesic-SP 50mg/325mg/10mg Tablet

DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Diclofenac (pain killer), Paracetamol (fever reducer), and Serratiopeptidase (protein enzyme). DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, tooth pain, bone and joint pain, headache, swelling, period pain, ear pain, migraine, fever,  sore throat, nose pain, etc. DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+SERRATIOPEPTIDASE increases the pain threshold and blood flow across the skin. Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Serratiopeptidase breaks down the abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, thereby reducing inflammation.
