About Serra DP Tablet

Serra DP Tablet belongs to the class of combination medication called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, 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.

Serra DP 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 COX enzyme's effect, lesser 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. 
 
You are advised to take Serra DP Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, Serra DP Tablet may cause certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, indigestion and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Serra DP Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Serra DP Tablet should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Serra DP Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects/interactions.
