Information about Flanzen D Tablet

Diclofenac (50mg) + Serratiopeptidase (10mg) is a combination medication often used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Here’s an overview of each component:

Components

1. Diclofenac (50 mg)

   • Class: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID)
   • Mechanism of Action: Diclofenac works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, diclofenac helps alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
   • Indications: Used to treat pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, back pain, and injuries.

2. Serratiopeptidase (10 mg)

   • Class: Enzyme
   • Mechanism of Action: Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that helps break down proteins and reduce inflammation. It is believed to aid in the reduction of swelling and pain by breaking down inflammatory mediators.
   • Indications: Often used as a supplement to reduce inflammation and pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis, sinusitis, and post-surgical inflammation.

Dosage and Administration

• Dosage: Typically, the dosage is one tablet or as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided on the prescription or product label.
• Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. It is usually taken with or after meals to minimize gastrointestinal irritation.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Diclofenac: Gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and, less commonly, ulcers or bleeding. Other potential side effects include headache, dizziness, and skin rash.
• Serratiopeptidase: Generally well-tolerated, but may cause mild gastrointestinal symptoms or allergic reactions in rare cases.

Important Considerations

• Adherence: Use the medication exactly as prescribed to ensure effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
• Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

This combination of diclofenac and serratiopeptidase can be effective for managing pain and inflammation, but it's essential to use it under the guidance of a healthcare provider to ensure safe and appropriate use.
