Diclofenac (50mg) + Serratiopeptidase (15mg) — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is mainly prescribed for conditions involving pain, swelling, and inflammation, such as sprains, joint pain, muscle injuries, dental pain, and post-operative swelling.

• Relief of pain and swelling due to injuries or sprains

HOW IT WORKS
