About Serama N 100mg/15mg Tablet

SERRATIOPEPTIDASE+NIMESULIDE belongs to a class of medication called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used to treat acute pain in people above 12 years of age. It is used to reduce pain and swelling in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, primary dysmenorrhoea (painful periods or menstrual cramps), back pain, muscle pain, and pain in the throat and ear, toothache and third molar surgery. Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-lasting (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs for a short time. While chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to nerve damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.

SERRATIOPEPTIDASE+NIMESULIDE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Serratiopeptidase and Nimesulide. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that helps break the insoluble protein known as fibrin (a by-product of a blood clot) into smaller units (amino acid). Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (pain reliever) that prevents prostaglandins' release (a chemical associated with pain and swelling). Thus, together it helps in reducing inflammation, pain and formation of mucus at the affected site.

Medicinal Benefits of Serama N 100mg/15mg Tablet

SERRATIOPEPTIDASE+NIMESULIDE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Serratiopeptidase and Nimesulide. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that helps break the insoluble protein's breakdown (fibrin, a by-product of a blood clot) into smaller units. It also causes thinning of the body's fluids due to injury, thereby making fluid drainage smoother in the swollen tissue. Thereby, it promotes healing. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (pain reliever) that prevents the release of certain chemical substances such as prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling.
