EMANZEN DP Tablet

EMANZEN DP Tablet, manufactured by Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd., is a combination medicine formulated to provide relief from pain and inflammation.

• Composition: Each tablet contains Diclofenac (50 mg), Paracetamol (325 mg), and Serratiopeptidase (10 mg). Diclofenac and Paracetamol act by inhibiting the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that helps reduce swelling by breaking down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, promoting healing.

  • Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis.
  • Muscle pain, tooth pain (including during dental surgery), bone and joint pain.
  • Headache, mild migraines, ear pain, sore throat, and menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea).
  • General pain relief, reducing swelling, and fever.
  • Post-operative pain.

• Dosage and Administration: The tablet should be taken orally as a whole with a glass of water, preferably after meals, to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient's condition and response to medication. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
