Acloflam SP works by combining the effects of its three active ingredients. Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body. Paracetamol helps to relieve pain and reduce fever. Serratiopeptidase aids in breaking down proteins at the site of inflammation, reducing swelling and promoting healing.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in inflammation and pain. Paracetamol works centrally in the brain to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down inflammatory proteins, aiding in reducing edema and promoting tissue repair.
