Ibugesic ASP Tablet

Description

Ibugesic ASP Tablet is a combination medication that effectively addresses pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. It combines three active ingredients, each contributing to its therapeutic effects:

• Aceclofenac (100 mg): A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and alleviates pain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which are involved in the production of prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for inflammation and pain.

• Paracetamol (325 mg): Also known as acetaminophen, it acts as an analgesic and antipyretic. It helps in reducing pain and lowering fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain.

• Serratiopeptidase (15 mg): An enzyme that possesses anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic properties. It aids in reducing swelling and promoting the healing of tissues by breaking down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation.

Ibugesic ASP Tablet is commonly prescribed for:
