Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme having anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic and fibrinolytic activity and it also acts rapidly
on localized inflammation. Serratiopeptidase has been widely used in the treatment of acute pain.
Functioning of Serratiopeptidase
The drug works by improving aggravated circulation in the inflammatory focus by breaking down abnormal exudates
and protein by promoting the absorption of the decomposed products through the blood and lymphatic vessels.
Serratiopeptidase tablets also help the elimination of sputum, pus and haematoma. This they do by breaking down
the liquefying mucus secretions and fibrin clots. Another major useful action being increased concentration of
antibiotics in the focus of infection.
Serratiopeptidase Popular Names
This drug is referred by several names like Serralysin, serratia peptidase, serratiapeptase, serratio peptidase, or
serrapeptidase
Serratiopeptidase Tablets Use
Serratiapeptase is used in the treatment of Chronic inflammation, the cause of which lies on a number of ailments like
as follows:
Headaches, muscle and joint pain
Serious diseases like cancer and heart disease
Back pain
Superficial thrombophlebitis
Postoperative & traumatic swelling
Acute or chronic ear, nose or throat disorder
It is to be noted that while most pain medicines only relieve the inflammation, serratiopeptidase tablets actually help
in breaking down the protein deposits (fibrin) which continues to cause pain and discomfort, even when the body is
healed from an injury or other irritation.
Dosage of Serratiopeptidase
5-10 mg thrice a day after meals
Side Effects of Serratiapeptase
The drug has certain side effects, that can affect individuals in different ways. The following are some of the side
effects, that are often associated with the drug:
Anorexia
Gastric Discomfort
Nausea
Discontinue use of hypersensitive symptoms such as eruptions appear. The drug should be used with caution by
pregnant and lactating women.

Nimesulide is a popular NSAID and available in various forms including tablets, suppositories, water-soluble powders,
and topical gels.
It is an analgesic and antipyretic in action, apart from its anti inflammatory action. Unlike, other NSAIDs, the chemical
structure of nimesulide does not contain a carboxylic group but a sulfonanilide moiety as the acidic group. It is
absorbed rapidly and completely after oral administration.
Brand Name: Ainex, Aulin, Donulide, Edrigyl, Eskaflam, Heugan, Lusemin
Working
It acts by inhibiting the release of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, acts as a competitive inhibitor of histamine release
and reduces superoxide anion formation

ANTI HISTAMINES
8/3/2019 Serratiopeptidase is an Enzyme Having Anti
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/serratiopeptidase-is-an-enzyme-having-anti 4/12
20 Dec 2010 Antihistamines are commonly used tables for treating allergic symptoms like rash, hives, hay fever,
runny nose, watery eyes, itching, and sneezing etc. These are allergies or the common cold problems faced by many
and most anti histamine drugs can be purchased over the counter . These tablets can also used to treat motion
sickness, anxiety, or as a sleep aid (for insomnia).
How to Use Anti Histamines?
The tablets are needed to be taken with milk or food if there is stomach upset
problem. It is also recommended to take the capsule as a whole instead of
chewing or crushing the tablet because crushing will destroy the long action and
may increase side effects. For chewable antihistamine tablets, chew thoroughly
and swallow. For liquid syrup, shake it well before taking.
Side Effects of Anti Histamine Tablets
Certain side effects are common while consuming such tablets like as drowsiness,
headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, stomach upset, irritability, vision changes,
dry mouth and nose. As the body adjusts to the medication, these effects subside.
For other problems like breathing difficulties, pounding or irregular heartbeat,
difficulty urinating, ringing in the ears, consult your doctor.
Precautions using Anti Histamines
Before consuming anti histamine tablets, give an idea to your doctor about your medical history, especially if you had
faced problems earlier like glaucoma (narrow angle), enlarged prostate, stomach ulcers, heart disease, seizures, lung
problems, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid. While taking the medicine, change from a seated or lying position
to avoid dizziness. Be careful in doing activities requiring alertness. For instance, you should never drive after taking
an anti histamine tablet. Limit alcohol intake to avoid drowsiness. Elderly persons should be very careful while
consuming antihistamines as they are more sensitive to the effects of the drug. Do not give long-acting antihistamines
to a child younger than 6 years of age without doctor approval. This drug should not be used during pregnancy.
Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Antihistamines Interactions with Other Drugs
Your doctor should have knowledge of all the other medications you may use (both prescription and nonprescription),
like sleeping pills, tranquilizers, sedatives, muscle relaxants, depression medication, narcotic pain relievers, seizure
medications, other medications for hay fever, colds or allergies. Because this medication may affect allergy testing,
you have to stop using this medication for few days before the tests are performed. Though this medicine can be
purchased without a doctor's prescription, it is better to take the doctor or pharmacist approval.
Symptoms of Overdose in children
Abnormal eye movements
Dry mouth
Flushed face
Change in amount of urine
Fever
Bizarre behavior
Agitation
Restlessness
Confusion
Irritability

Abnormal tongue movement etc.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take as soon as you remembered and if it is almost at the same time for the next dose, then it is
better to skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

The ulnar collateral ligament is a band of tough, fibrous tissue that connects the bones at the base of
the thumb. This ligament prevents the thumb from pointing too far away from the hand.
How is the ulnar collateral ligament injured?
Two common descriptive terms for injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament are:
"skier's thumb" and
"gamekeeper's thumb"
These eponyms are often used interchangeably, although they describe slightly different injury
patterns.
The skier's thumb injury was described as an acute injury to the ulnar collateral ligament. When a
skier falls with his or her hand caught in a ski pole, the thumb can be pulled away from the hand.
Because of the shape of the ski pole, the thumb tends to get caught and significant stresses are
placed on the ulnar collateral ligament. If the ulnar collateral ligament is pulled far enough, it will tear.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/serratiopeptidase-is-an-enzyme-having-anti 9/12
While there are many ways to injure the ulnar collateral ligament, a skier's thumb is the proper
eponym for an acute injury to the ligament.
The other injury is called a gamekeeper's thumb; this refers to a more chronic pattern of injury
that leads to loosening of the ulnar ligament over time. The name comes from the European
gamekeepers who would kill their game by grasping the head of the animal between their thumb and
index finger to break its neck. Over time, the ulnar collateral ligament is stretched and would
eventually cause problems. Again, gamekeeper's thumb is the proper eponym to describe chronic
injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament.
An ulnar collateral ligament injury most often occurs as a result of sports injuries. Athletes who are
skiers and soccer players often sustain this injury. An ulnar collateral ligament injury can also occur as
the result of a fall or other trauma.
What are common symptoms of an ulnar collateral ligament injury?
Patients who sustain an acute tear of the ulnar collateral ligament typically complain of pain and
swelling directly over the torn ligament at the base of the thumb. Patients will often have a difficult
time grasping objects or holding objects firmly in their grip. Because this injury is commonly seen in
athletes, they will often complain of difficulty holding a tennis racket or throwing a baseball. Patients
may also complain of instability or catching their thumb in pockets of their pants.
What is the treatment for an ulnar collateral ligament injury?
The treatment depends on several factors, including the extent of the injury, how long ago the injury
occurred, the age of the patient, and the physical demands of the patient. If the tear is partial, and
the thumb is not too loose, the patient is usually placed in a cast or a modified wrist splint (called a
thumb spica) for 4 to 6 weeks.
If the tear is complete or if the patient has significant instability due to the tear of the ulnar collateral
ligament, then surgery may be considered. Surgery is usually most effective when performed withinthe first few weeks following injury. If possible, the surgeon will repair the torn ends of the ligament
back together. If the ligament is torn from the bone, then the torn end will be sutured down to the
bone itself.
If the injury to the ulnar collateral ligament is older, then it is likely that a direct repair will not be
possible. In this case, either another structure will be transferred to reconstruct the ulnar collateral
ligament or one of the muscles at the base of the thumb will be advanced to compensate for the torn
ligament.
What is the recovery after ulnar collateral ligament repair?
Following surgery, patients will be placed in a cast for four to six weeks to protect the repairedligament. At that point, gentle motion of the finger will begin. Most patients are able to play sports 3
to 4 months after surgery.

Sprained Thumb
Scenario:Rounding a corner on the South Mountain race loop, your tires begin to dig into the soft
shoulder. For a second, you think you're going to pull it out. But then the bike flips sideways,
and you're flying off the trail. As you catch yourself, your thumb hangs up in the soft dirt and
bends down towards your wrist.
Description:
A sprain is a stretching of ligaments -- the tissues that hold two bones together. In the thumb, you
have these ligaments on the inner and outer sides of each joint, and on the underside of each
joint. When an accident bends the joint in a direction it's not supposed to go (most commonly,
bending backwards), it injures the ligament. Ligament injuries come in three degrees of
seriousness: 1st degree = stretching, 2nd degree = partial tear, and 3rd degree = completerupture.
If the spraining force bends the thumb straight back (in the direction of the thumbnail), the sprain
usually won't be serious. But it forces the thumb laterally downward (force on the side of the
thumb that faces the index finger, pulling it down towards the wrist), it can rupture the ulnar
collateral ligament, making the thumb unstable.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/serratiopeptidase-is-an-enzyme-having-anti 11/12
Concerns:
A rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament (located on the side of the thumb right where it meets
the skin fold coming over from the index finger) is serious. Of course, the same forces that sprain
a thumb can also cause dislocation, tendon rupture, fracture, or volar plate injury. So you should
assess careful for the signs of serious injury. Only if the injury seems trivial should you self-
diagnose a sprain.
See the doctor for an injured finger if:
there's significant swelling or deformity
there's pain when the thumb is resting (after the first hour)
you can't move the joint fully
there's severe pain with motion of the thumb
there's numbness or weakness
there's weakness at the base of the thumb with pinching motion
the thumb can be bent outward at either knuckle
Immediate care:Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. Immediately elevate the injured part and apply an ice bag. If
the distant knuckle is injured, splint it. If the pain is at the first knuckle, you'll probably need to
see the doctor for adequate splinting. (And maybe an x-ray.)
To assess the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), have the
injured thumb straight and out away from the hand. Put
your index finger pad on the side of the thumb that faces
the hand, right at the end. Put the tip of your good thumb
right up against the other side of the thumb
metacarpophalangeal joint (first knuckle or MCPJ).
Location of tenderness and swelling in ulnar collateral ligament
injury.
While bracing the MCPJ of the injured thumb with your
thumbtip, pull down with your index finger. If the thumb
can be bent downward more than about a half-inch, the
UCL is probably ruptured. See the doc.
Stress test for ruptured ulnar collateral ligament: pulling downward
on the side of the thumb while bracing the MCPJ with the thumbtip.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/serratiopeptidase-is-an-enzyme-having-anti 12/12
Ongoing care:
For the first 48 hours, repeat ice and elevation 1/4 of the time (for example, 30 minutes of ice
every two hours). Continue splinting for a few days. As the pain subsides, return to activities.
Often you can protect the injured finger by "buddy taping," taping it to an adjacent bigger
stronger finger. It will take about three weeks for the sprain to heal. As you resume sports,
remember the rule: "If it hurts, don't do it." If the finger becomes increasingly swollen, orremains weak or painful in routine use, go to the doctor.
Finger rehab:
After the first few days of splinting, start range of motion exercises.
Range of motion: Warm the finger for 10 minutes (heating pad or sink of warm water). Gently
bend the finger until it begins to feel uncomfortable, then hold the stretch for 30 seconds. Rest
for a minute, then do it again. Repeat 10 times. Now straighten the finger and hold for 30
seconds, rest a minute, and repeat 10 times. If the finger has increased discomfort after the
exercises, ice the wrist for 20 minutes after the exercises. Do the exercises twice a day.
Watch for:If the injured area doesn't improve promptly, see the doctor.
