Asozen SR Tablet is used to provide pain relief in various conditions including post-traumatic pain, low back pain, cervical pain, spondylitis (inflammation in spinal bones), osteoarthritis (lifelong joint pain and stiffness), rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain and damage throughout the body), and migraine. Asozen SR Tablet plays a vital role in reducing pain and inflammation by blocking the release of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. This helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that helps break the insoluble protein (fibrin) by-product of blood clots into smaller units. It also causes thinning of the fluids in the body due to injury, thereby making fluid drainage smoother in the swollen tissue.
