Aslofen SP Capsule is used to reduce pain and inflammation due to bone or soft tissue injury, resolution of postoperative inflammation, oedema (swollen tissue with fluid) and pain. It works by blocking the action of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which causes pain and swelling in injured or damaged tissue. Also, it helps in the breakdown of a protein (fibrin), which is formed as a by-product of the blood clot at the site of injury. Thus, it causes thinning of the fluids around the injury site, thereby facilitating smoother fluid drainage in the swollen tissue. It may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach pain, etc. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

How Aslofen SP Capsule Works

Aslofen SP Capsule belongs to the class of drugs known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs' (NSAIDs). It is a fixed-dose combination composed of aceclofenac, paracetamol and serratiopeptidase. Aceclofenac works by blocking the action of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which causes pain and swelling in injured or damaged tissue. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer), thereby enhancing the analgesic action of aceclofenac. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme which helps in the breakdown of a protein (fibrin), which is formed as a by-product of the clotted blood at the site of injury. It thus causes thinning of the fluids around the injury site, thereby facilitating smoother fluid drainage in the swollen tissue.
