How it works
Alvofast-SP Tablet is a combination of Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Paracetamol is an antipyretic (fever reducer). They block the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that breaks down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation and promotes healing.
