How it works
Definac-SP Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Paracetamol is an antipyretic (fever reducer). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme which works by breaking down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation and promotes healing.
Quick Tips
Take it with food to avoid getting an upset stomach. Take it as directed by your doctor. Do not chew, crush or break it. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Definac-SP Tablet. Do not take it with any other medicine containing acetaminophen without asking your doctor first.
