Bitnac Sp Strip Of 10 Tablets

Bitnac Sp Tablet is a pharmaceutical preparation containing aceclofenac, paracetamol, and serratiopeptidase. This combination medication is indicated for the management of pain and inflammation associated with various medical conditions. Specifically, it is used to alleviate symptoms related to arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Additionally, it is prescribed for the reduction of post-operative inflammation, swelling, and pain. Aceclofenac and paracetamol work synergistically to reduce pain and inflammation through their respective mechanisms. Serratiopeptidase complements this action by aiding in the reduction of swelling.

Adherence to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment, as advised by a healthcare professional, is crucial. Patients are required to inform their doctor of their complete medical history before commencing treatment. Prompt medical consultation is necessary if any adverse reactions occur, such as signs of liver damage or allergic manifestations including swelling of the face, mouth, or throat, itching, rashes, or difficulty breathing.

Treatment duration should not exceed the period recommended by the prescribing physician.
