How it works

Diclopep Plus Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. Diclofenac works by reducing the formation of certain substances in the body that are responsible for causing pain and swelling. Paracetamol increases the pain threshold (ability to handle pain) and decreases swelling. Serratiopeptidase reduces redness and swelling through the breakdown of proteins present at the site of the swelling.
