How ACUXN SP Tablets Work

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It reduces prostaglandins, the substances that cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Paracetamol relieves pain and lowers fever through its action in the brain. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme used alongside anti-inflammatory medicines to help manage swelling and inflammation.
