What is EVOFLAM SP TAB used for?

EVOFLAM SP TAB is a combination medicine primarily used for the short-term relief of pain, inflammation, and swelling in various conditions affecting joints and muscles. This includes pain and inflammation due to bone or soft tissue injuries, post-operative inflammation, oedema (swollen tissue with fluid), and musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, low back pain, dental pain, and dysmenorrhea. It can also help reduce fever.

How does EVOFLAM SP TAB work?

EVOFLAM SP TAB contains three active ingredients: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which is responsible for pain and swelling. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer), enhancing the pain relief provided by aceclofenac. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that helps break down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, thins fluids around the injury, and promotes healing.

What is the usual dosage for EVOFLAM SP TAB?

The dosage of EVOFLAM SP TAB should be strictly as advised by your doctor, based on your medical condition. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, without chewing, biting, or breaking it. It is recommended to take it with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration of treatment.

What are the possible side effects of EVOFLAM SP TAB?

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach pain, heartburn, increased liver enzymes, dizziness, drowsiness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rash, and flatulence. If these side effects persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor. Long-term use of this medicine may lead to serious complications such as stomach bleeding and kidney problems.

Is EVOFLAM SP TAB safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

EVOFLAM SP TAB may be unsafe to use during pregnancy, especially during the last trimester, unless compelling reasons exist and it is advised by a doctor. Animal studies have shown harmful effects on the developing baby. Information regarding its use during breastfeeding is limited, so it is crucial to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can EVOFLAM SP TAB be taken with other medications?

EVOFLAM SP TAB can interact with certain medications. There is an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding if taken with anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin) or anti-platelet agents (e.g., clopidogrel). Combining it with other NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen) can intensify the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Co-administration with Teriflunomide or Leflunomide may increase the risk of liver problems. Avoid taking it with any other medicine containing acetaminophen without first consulting your doctor. Always inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking.

What precautions should be taken while using EVOFLAM SP TAB?

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking EVOFLAM SP TAB, as it may cause excessive drowsiness and increase the risk of liver damage.

This medicine may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so avoid driving or activities requiring mental focus until you know how it affects you. Do not take it if you are allergic to its components or other painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac. It is not recommended for use in children.

What happens if a dose of EVOFLAM SP TAB is missed?

If you miss a dose of EVOFLAM SP TAB, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
