How Asflam Tablet works

Asflam Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, Serratiopeptidase and Tizanidine. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are analgesics (pain relievers). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme whcih breaks down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, and promotes healing. Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centres in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and improve movement of muscles.
