Espidase P 325mg/10mg Tablet

Introduction

Espidase P is a medication that contains two active ingredients: Paracetamol and Serratiopeptidase. Paracetamol is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer, while Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties. This combination medication is commonly prescribed to provide relief from pain, reduce fever, and decrease inflammation.

Uses

Espidase P is prescribed for the management of various conditions that involve pain, fever, and inflammation. It is commonly used to alleviate pain associated with headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis and sprains. Additionally, it can help reduce fever in cases of viral or bacterial infections.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Espidase P should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of the condition being treated. Follow the prescribed dosage instructions and not exceed the recommended dose.

These tablets are usually taken orally with a glass of water. They can be taken with or without food, depending on personal preference and tolerance. It is recommended to swallow the tablets whole and not crush or chew them unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Paracetamol, one of the active ingredients in Espidase P, works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that contribute to pain and fever. It acts primarily on the central nervous system to provide analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects.

Serratiopeptidase, the other active ingredient, works by breaking down proteins that contribute to inflammation. This enzyme helps reduce swelling and promote healing.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, stomach upset, and allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

In rare cases, serious side effects may occur, such as liver damage or blood disorders. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Espidase P may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, certain antibiotics, and certain anticonvulsant drugs. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions. They can provide guidance on any necessary adjustments or precautions.

Before taking Espidase P, inform your healthcare professional about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking. Certain conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, may require special consideration or dosage adjustments.
