How Flexace-SP Tablet works

Aceclofenac is an NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase (COX) enzymes and lowering prostaglandin synthesis. Paracetamol provides analgesic and antipyretic action mainly via central inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that helps reduce swelling/inflammation by breaking down inflammatory proteins and facilitating fluid drainage.

Expert advice for Flexace-SP Tablet

Use the lowest dose for the shortest period. If you need a painkiller regularly, see your doctor rather than continuing on your own. Paracetamol is the safer choice for simple fever and headache. Take the lowest dose that works, and leave the stated gap between doses. Seek help immediately after a suspected overdose, even if you feel completely well — treatment works best when it is early. Keep every monitoring blood test appointment. Carry a note of the medicine and its schedule, especially for weekly dosing.
