How Acekay Sera Tablet 10 Works?
Acekay Sera Tablet 10 is a combination medication with three active ingredients each contributing to its pain-relieving effect:
Aceclofenac (100 mg): This ingredient is an NSAID that works by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in your body which produce prostaglandins substances that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, aceclofenac helps manage these symptoms.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (325 mg): This ingredient is a widely used analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the central nervous system and decreasing the body's temperature set point in the hypothalamus.
Serratiopeptidase (10 mg): Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that has anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic and fibrinolytic properties. It helps break down inflammatory mediators and reduces swelling and pain. It also promotes the absorption of inflammatory fluids and aids in the removal of damaged tissue.
