Neorelax SP Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and swelling in various conditions like muscle pain, joint pain, and postoperative pain. Thus, it effectively alleviates pain and inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis.
Neorelax Sp Tablet belongs to the class of drugs known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug' (NSAID). It is a fixed-dose combination composed of aceclofenac, paracetamol and serratiopeptidase. Neorelax Sp Tablet 10's is used in the reduction of pain and inflammation due to bone or soft tissue injury, resolution of postoperative inflammation, oedema (swollen tissue with fluid) and pain. Aceclofenac works by blocking the action of an enzyme known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling in the injured or damaged tissue. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of aceclofenac. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme which helps in the breakdown of a protein (fibrin) which is formed as a by-product of the clotted blood at the site of injury. It thus causes thinning of the fluids around the site of injury thereby making fluid drainage smoother in the swollen tissue.
Pain can be temporary (acute) or lifelong (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is for a short time caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone or organs.
