SERARIS 10 TAB 20'S
SERRATIOPEPTIDASE 10MG
SERARIS 10 TAB 20'S is a tablet of serratiopeptidase 10 mg, a proteolytic enzyme. It is used to reduce swelling, bruising and inflammatory oedema after trauma, surgery and dental procedures, and in soft-tissue injury and ENT inflammation where swelling limits function.
01
Benefits
- Hydrolyses inflammatory exudate and fibrin, helping disperse swelling rather than only masking pain.
- Reducing oedema relieves the pressure component of post-traumatic and post-surgical pain.
- Speeds the resolution of bruising and haematoma after injury or surgery.
- Contains no NSAID or paracetamol, so it can be added to an existing analgesic regimen without duplication.
- Widely used after dental extraction, ENT procedures and orthopaedic surgery.

Side effects

Less common
- Skin rash, itching or flushing

Stop and get medical help if any of these occur

- Swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing

- Severe abdominal pain
- Black or tarry stools
03
Precautions
- Swallow whole on an empty stomach with water. Crushing or chewing destroys the enteric coating that protects the enzyme from gastric acid.
- Avoid in patients with coagulation disorders or on anticoagulants — serratiopeptidase may add to bleeding risk.
- Stop before planned surgery on the surgeon's advice.
- Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to serratiopeptidase.
- Use with caution in severe hepatic or renal impairment, and in active peptic ulcer disease.
- This reduces swelling; it is not an analgesic or an antibiotic, and infected swelling still needs appropriate treatment.
- Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only on medical advice.
