Description

SERRATIOPEPTIDASE belongs to the class of drugs known as ‘non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug’ (NSAID) used to provide pain relief in various conditions, including post-traumatic pain, low back pain, cervical pain, spondylitis (inflammation in spinal bones), osteoarthritis (lifelong joint pain and stiffness), rheumatoid arthritis(joint pain and damage throughout the body). Pain can be temporary (acute) or prolonged period (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is for a short time caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. Chronic pain lasts for life long, caused due to nerve damage, osteoarthritis, and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury. 

SERRATIOPEPTIDASE contains ‘serratiopeptidase‘, a protein enzyme isolated from a bacterial cell found in the silkworms. It breaks the insoluble protein (fibrin), a by-product of blood clots, into smaller units. It also causes thinning of the body’s fluids due to injury, making fluid drainage smoother in the swollen tissue and relieving inflammation at the affected or injured site. 

Swallow SERRATIOPEPTIDASE as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it. In some cases, SERRATIOPEPTIDASE may cause stomach ache, diarrhoea, nausea (feeling sick), and indigestion. Most of these side effects of SERRATIOPEPTIDASE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not take SERRATIOPEPTIDASE if you are allergic to painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac. It is not recommended for use in children. SERRATIOPEPTIDASE may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack ‘myocardial infarction’. It is advisable not to exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment. Stop taking this medicine if you experience tightness of the chest, breathing difficulties, fever, skin rashes, mouth sores, and other mucous membranes causing ulcers, or any signs of hypersensitivity (allergy).

Uses of SERRATIOPEPTIDASE

Pain, Inflammation

Medicinal Benefits

SERRATIOPEPTIDASE plays a vital role in reducing pain and inflammation by blocking the release of chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. SERRATIOPEPTIDASE relieves pain and inflammation in arthritic conditions with the benefit of increased antibiotic penetration and micro-circulation at the injury site. SERRATIOPEPTIDASE contains serratiopeptidase, a proteolytic enzyme that helps break the insoluble protein (fibrin) by-product of blood clots into smaller units. It also causes thinning of the fluids in the body due to injury, thereby making fluid drainage smoother in the swollen tissue.
