Merzen-SP Tablet by SRR Medical belongs to the class of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is a fixed-dose combination containing Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. This medication is primarily used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with bone or soft tissue injuries, postoperative inflammation, edema (swelling caused by fluid retention), and related pain.

How Merzen-SP Tablet Works

1. Aceclofenac: Blocks the action of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which causes pain and swelling in injured or damaged tissues.
2. Paracetamol: Acts as a mild analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer), enhancing the pain-relief effects of Aceclofenac.
3. Serratiopeptidase: An enzyme that helps break down fibrin (a protein formed as a by-product of clotted blood at injury sites). It thins the fluids around the injury, making fluid drainage smoother and reducing swelling.
