Product Introduction:
AC SERA TABLET is a combination medication that contains three active ingredients: Aceclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug – NSAID), Paracetamol (a pain reliever and fever reducer), and Serratiopeptidase (an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties). This combination is often prescribed for the relief of pain, inflammation, and fever associated with various conditions.
AC SERA TABLET should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. It should be taken with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. Taking the medicine regularly at the right times increases its effectiveness. It is important to keep taking the medicine regularly until your doctor tells you it is safe to stop.
Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, indigestion, heartburn, increased liver enzymes, dizziness,
drowsiness, and diarrhea are some of the common side effects that might be observed on taking this medicine. Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney function, liver function, and levels of blood components if you are taking this medicine for long-term treatment. Long-term use may lead to serious complications such as stomach bleeding and kidney problems. AC SERA TABLET is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Uses:
- Pain Relief: The combination is used to alleviate pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.
- Fever Reduction: Paracetamol helps in reducing fever commonly associated with inflammatory conditions.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Serratiopeptidase contributes to reducing inflammation by breaking down certain proteins.
Benefits:
- Comprehensive Relief: The combination provides a tripartite approach, offering anti-inflammatory effects (Aceclofenac and Serratiopeptidase) and pain relief/fever reduction (Paracetamol), resulting in comprehensive symptom relief.
- Improved Quality of Life: By targeting multiple aspects of pain and inflammation, the medication aims to improve overall well-being.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
- Gastrointestinal discomfort: Such as stomach pain or indigestion (Aceclofenac).
- Nausea or vomiting: Especially if taken on an empty stomach (Paracetamol).
- Dizziness or headache
- Skin rash or itching
Serious side effects are rare but can include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers (Aceclofenac). It’s important to seek medical attention if you experience severe or persistent side effects.
Drug Interactions:
The combination may interact with other medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol can interact with certain medications, and it’s crucial to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage to prevent potential liver damage associated with Paracetamol.
Dosage:
The dosage of AC SERA TABLET is determined by a healthcare professional based on the specific condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the individual patient’s response. It is usually taken orally with or after food to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal irritation.
Working:
- Aceclofenac (NSAID): Inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins. This helps in relieving pain and inflammation.
- Paracetamol: Reduces the production of prostaglandins in the brain, providing pain relief and reducing fever.
- Serratiopeptidase: Has anti-inflammatory properties by breaking down certain proteins involved in the inflammatory process.
Precautions:
- Gastrointestinal Risk: Long-term use of NSAIDs like Aceclofenac can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers. It is often prescribed with gastroprotective agents.
- Liver Function: It’s important to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage of Paracetamol to prevent potential liver damage. Individuals with liver conditions should use the combination with caution.
It’s crucial to use AC SERA TABLET under the guidance of a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice, monitor for side effects, and make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
