Uses / Indications:
The Anaflam XPS Tablet is designed to relieve pain, edema, and inflammation that come with both short-term and long-term diseases.
Some common signs are:
Joint discomfort (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis)
Muscle pain or tightness
Pain in the back and neck
Inflammation after surgery or an injury
Pain in the teeth or mouth
Headache or migraine
Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
Swelling after an injury or trauma to the tissue
Pregnancy interaction:
Use carefully if you are pregnant.
Avoid taking Aceclofenac (an NSAID) in the third trimester since it could hurt the baby by making the ductus arteriosus close too soon.
When taken in the right amounts, paracetamol is usually safe to use during pregnancy.
There isn't much information on serratiopeptidase, so only use it if a doctor tells you to.
Use only under medical supervision during the first several weeks of pregnancy when the benefits exceed the dangers.
Some of it may go into breast milk when you're breastfeeding, so talk to your doctor before using it.
Expert advice:
Take after meals to ease stomach pain.
Stay away from alcohol since it makes liver damage and gastrointestinal bleeding more likely.
Do not take any other drugs that contain paracetamol or NSAIDs at the same time.
Only use for a short time unless your doctor tells you to.
Tell your doctor if you have asthma, an ulcer, or problems with your liver or kidneys.
Drink plenty of water and don't skip meals.
Don't drive or use machinery if you feel sleepy or dizzy.
Long-term use should be watched by a doctor to make sure the liver, kidneys, and stomach are all healthy.

How it works:
This drug works in three ways to relieve pain through its three active ingredients:
Aceclofenac:
Stops cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes from working, which lowers the levels of prostaglandins that induce pain, swelling, and fever.
It helps reduce inflammation and pain.
Acetaminophen (Paracetamol):
Works on the brain's areas for controlling pain and temperature to lower discomfort and fever.
It enhances the effectiveness of Aceclofenac in relieving pain.
Serratiopeptidase:
A natural proteolytic enzyme that helps break down proteins that cause inflammation at the site of injury.
Reduces swelling, tissue damage, and fluid buildup, which speeds up healing.
These components work together to ease pain, lower swelling, and speed up the healing of tissues.
