Mahagesic-SP Tablet 10’s belongs to the class of drugs known as ‘non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs’ (NSAID). It is a fixed-dose combination composed of aceclofenac, paracetamol and serratiopeptidase. Mahagesic-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. Chronic pain lasts for life and is caused by nerve damage, osteoarthritis and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction or injury. There are different types of musculoskeletal pain caused due to soft tissue (muscle, tendon and ligaments) injury. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains or trauma or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.
