Sefdic SP 50mg/500mg/10mg Tablet is used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and 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.
Sefdic SP 50mg/500mg/10mg Tablet 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. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain, swelling and fever. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain, inflammation and fever. Serratiopeptidase acts as a mucolytic (dissolves thick protein at the injured/affected site) and anti-inflammatory agent, thereby decreasing swelling at the painful site.
