Uses

OF VALAID SP TABLET Relieves symptoms such as fever, pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders

How It Works

VALAID SP TABLET helps to manage pain, where Diclofenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 and blocks the production of prostaglandins (which are responsible for pain), while paracetamol works by decreasing fever by acting on the hypothalamus (heat-regulation centre in the brain) produces peripheral vasodilation, resulting in increased blood flow through the skin, sweating and heat loss. It also increases the pain threshold by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes and serratiopeptidase is an anti-inflammatory agent which reduces inflammation and swelling in the affected area. It also breaks abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation and promotes healing. Together, relieves fever and pain effectively.
