How Does Jitoace SEPA Tablet Work:

Jitoace SEPA Tablet works through a combined mechanism of action with its three active ingredients.

Aceclofenac helps control pain and inflammation by stopping the release of chemicals that cause swelling at the affected area. Paracetamol works in the brain to relieve pain and bring down fever. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that reduces swelling by breaking down unwanted proteins and improving blood flow to the injured area. It also helps remove damaged tissue and excess fluid, which supports faster healing. Together, these ingredients provide strong pain relief, reduce inflammation, and help the body recover more comfortably and quickly.

It is also vital to follow a healthy diet by avoiding spicy, deep-fried, and acidic foods to prevent additional gastrointestinal irritation and facilitate better absorption.

• Drug Interactions

Jitoace SEPA Tablet may interact with other drugs, potentially compromising their effectiveness. It could lower the efficacy of antihypertensive medications or diuretics, which might cause kidney issues. If you are taking a potassium-sparing diuretic, then potassium levels should be closely monitored. Furthermore, it can elevate lithium or digoxin levels by decreasing their elimination rate. Serratiopeptidase has the potential to interact with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, including heparin, warfarin, and ibuprofen, which might reduce their effectiveness by delaying the clotting of blood, leading to a possibility of bleeding or bruising. Paracetamol interacts with medications metabolized by liver enzymes. Always inform your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all kinds of drugs you are taking to avoid complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1. What is Jitoace SEPA Tablet used for?

A: Jitoace SEPA Tablet is used for pain relief, such as back pain, joint pain, muscle pain, tooth pain, migraine, inflammation, and swelling in conditions like arthritis, muscle or sports injuries, and post-surgery recovery.

Q2. How does Jitoace SEPA Tablet work in pain and inflammation?

A: The three components of Jitoace SEPA Tablet work synergistically for managing pain and inflammation. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol block the chemical messenger prostaglandin, which causes pain and inflammation at the injured site. On the other hand, Serratiopeptidase reduces swelling and pain by loosening the blood vessels around the affected part and improving blood circulation. Concomitantly, they work and help reduce pain and inflammation.

Q3. Does Jitoace SEPA Tablet cause stomach problems?

A: Aceclofenac is one of the active ingredients in the Jitoace SEPA Tablet, and like most NSAIDs, it can cause acidity or stomach upset. Your doctor may suggest you take it after food to help minimize this.
