SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET is used to provide pain relief in various conditions, including post-traumatic pain, low back pain, cervical pain, spondylitis (inflammation in spinal bones), osteoarthritis (lifelong joint pain and stiffness), rheumatoid arthritis(joint pain and damage throughout the body). It contains Serratiopeptidase, which breaks the insoluble protein (fibrin) into smaller units. It also causes thinning of the body's fluids, making fluid drainage smoother in the swollen tissue and relieving inflammation at the affected or injured site. In some cases, it may cause stomach ache, diarrhoea, nausea (feeling sick), and indigestion. 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.

About SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET

SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET is an oral enzyme preparation used to reduce swelling, inflammation, and associated pain. It is commonly prescribed to help clear fluid accumulation in tissues after surgeries, physical injuries, or respiratory conditions like sinus congestion. By breaking down abnormal proteins at inflammatory sites, it aids the body's natural healing process.

For best results, take SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET consistently at the exact intervals prescribed by your doctor. It must be taken on an empty stomach, either 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after, to prevent the enzyme from breaking down dietary proteins instead of working on your body's tissues. Staying well-hydrated and resting the affected area can also help speed up your recovery.

While taking SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET, some individuals may experience mild stomach upset, nausea, or a temporary loss of appetite. If you notice any serious side effects, such as unusual bleeding, skin rashes, or breathing difficulties, you should seek immediate medical attention. Always consult your doctor if any unusual symptoms persist or worsen.

Talk to your doctor before starting SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET if you have a history of bleeding disorders, liver disease, or kidney problems. Do not take this medicine if you have a known allergy to proteolytic enzymes or are scheduled for an upcoming surgery. It is highly recommended to avoid this medication if you have active bleeding conditions, such as bleeding ulcers.

Avoid taking SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET with blood thinners, as this combination increases your risk of bruising and bleeding. Smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided, as they can worsen inflammation and delay your body's recovery. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or an older adult, consult your healthcare provider to ensure this medication is safe for your specific situation.

Uses of SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET

SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET is used to reduce swelling, inflammation, and associated pain. The detailed uses of SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET are as follows:

  • Post-operative swelling: Helps reduce fluid buildup, swelling, and inflammation at surgical incision sites for a smoother recovery.
  • Traumatic injuries: Aids in relieving pain and swelling caused by sports injuries, sprains, fractures, or muscle tears.
  • Sinusitis and respiratory congestion: Thins mucus secretions in the sinuses and airways, making it easier to clear congestion and breathe comfortably.
  • Inflammatory joint conditions: Assists in managing swelling and stiffness in conditions affecting the joints and surrounding tissues.
     

Key Benefits

SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET helps reduce swelling and inflammation, promoting faster recovery from injuries, surgery, or inflammatory conditions. By improving tissue healing and relieving discomfort, it supports better mobility and overall recovery.

  • Helps Reduce Swelling and Pain: By reducing inflammation and the accumulation of excess fluid, SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET helps relieve swelling, pain, and pressure at the affected area, improving comfort during daily activities.
  • Supports Comfortable Movement: As swelling and inflammation decrease, SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET helps improve mobility and allows for more comfortable movement during the healing process.
  • Promotes Faster Tissue Recovery: By supporting the clearance of excess fluid and improving circulation at the affected site, SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET helps promote the body's natural tissue repair process and contributes to a smoother recovery following injury or surgery.
     

Directions for Use

  • SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET can be taken 2 hours after meals, or as advised by the doctor.

How SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET Works

SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET contains serratiopeptidase. It works as a proteolytic enzyme, which means it specialises in breaking down proteins. When there is tissue injury or inflammation, the body produces excess proteins like fibrin and fluids that cause swelling and pain. SEPTIDASE FORTE TABLET targets and breaks down these abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation. This process thins out the inflammatory fluids, making it easier for your lymphatic system to drain them away. By reducing fluid pressure and clearing blockages, it decreases swelling and eases pressure on nearby nerves, relieving pain and discomfort.
