Maxiflam SP 100 mg/10 mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Nimesulide and Serratiopeptidase which relieve pain. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
