Rijocox - SP

Rapid relief from Pain & Inflammation
Rijocox-SP is a combination of three medicines: Aceclofenac + Paracetamol + Serratiopeptidase. An analgesic (painkiller), antipyretic (fever reducer) and NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) used to relieve muscle pain, fever joint pain, arthritis, toothache, inflammatory pain, headache, abdominal pain etc.
Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal agent with marked anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The mode of action of aceclofenac is largely based on the inhibition to prostaglandin synthesis.
Paracetamol: Paracetamol acts predominantly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system and, to a lesser extent, through a peripheral action by blocking pain impulse generation. Paracetamol is one of the effective mil analgesics, suitable for treating mild-to-moderate pain.
Serratiopeptidase:

Serratiopeptidase breaks down fibrin, which believed to be one of the causes of chronic inflammation. It also causes thinning of the fluids in the body as a result of injury, making fluid drainage smoother. It can break down protein and facilitate fibrinolytic activity in the blood, and modify molecules that guide cells to their targets. This activity includes the digestion of scar tissue, blood clots, cysts, mucus, arterial plaque, and all types of inflammation.Serratioceptidase reduces internal tissue oedema and inflammation caused at post-operating handling. It can also block the pain-inducing amines from swollen tissues

Mechanism of Action:

Rijocox-SP acts by a combined mechanism of its three components. Paracetamol and Aceclofenac work by interfering with the production of achemical called prostaglandin which is responsible for pain,swelling and inflammation
Serratiopeptidase promotes cartilage matrix synthesis, tissue repair and decreases swelling
