Aklonac-SP is a combination of serratiopeptidase, aceclofenac and paracetamol.
Serratiopeptidase
It is a proteolytic enzyme which is produced by enterobacterium serratia. This is present in silk worm intestine and allows the emerging moth to dissolve its cocoon.
Aceclofenac is a phenylacetic acid derivative which produces its action on inflammatory mediators. It is a glycolic acid ester of diclofenac.
Paracetamol
It is also known as acetaminophen and is widely used as over the counter analgesic and anti-pyretic. It is a mild analgesic which causes relief in mild headaches and other aches and pains. In combination with other drugs like opioid analgesic, paracetamol is used in the management of post surgical pain and severe pain.

Serratiopeptidase
It binds to alpha-2 microglobulin which is present in blood which masks the antigenicity. After this it is slowly transferred to the site of inflammation. It causes hydrolyzation of bradykinin, histamine, serotoxin which are responsible for edema. It also causes reduction in microcirculation and expectoration of sputum which makes to have anti-inflammatory property.
Aceclofenac
It is a NSAID which produces its action by blocking COX-1 which is involved in inflammatory processes. This inflammatory mediators produces response to any injury and cause pain and swelling. It is a glycolic acid ester of diclofenac.
Paracetamol
It inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandin synthesis by competing with arachidonic acid for the active site of COX.
Serratiopeptidase
Absorption
The drug is orally absorbed
Distribution
It is well distributed in blood stream
Excretion
The excretion of the drug is through urine and bile
Aceclofenac
Absorption
After oral administration it is well absorbed in the body.
Distribution
About 99.7% of the drug is bound to plasma protein. It produces its action by concentrating in synovial fluid. The drug is metabolized in liver as 4-hydroxyaceclofenac.
Excretion
It is excreted as conjugated metabolites through urine.
Paracetamol
Absorption
It has rapid and complete absorption
Distribution
The protein binding of the drug is about 25%, it undergoes glucuronidation in liver.
Excretion
About 80% of acetaminophen is excreted in the urine after conjugation and about 3% of the drug is excreted unchanged.
