Serrin 5mg Tablet

Serrin 5mg Tablet is an oral enzyme preparation from DoctorOnCall Malaysia, formulated with Serratiopeptidase 5mg as its active ingredient. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme, originally isolated from bacteria in the gut of the silkworm, that is manufactured for pharmaceutical use as a tablet for oral administration. Each tablet is manufactured to a standardised 5mg potency so that the enzyme content is consistent from dose to dose.

The product is supplied as small, easy-to-swallow tablets, typically packed 10 tablets per pack, and is sold in Malaysia as an over-the-counter enzyme tablet that does not require a doctor’s prescription to purchase. Serrin 5mg Tablet does not contain paracetamol, NSAIDs, antihistamines or any antibiotic; it is a single-ingredient enzyme product, which distinguishes it from combination cold-and-flu or pain tablets that mix several active ingredients into one tablet.

As an enzyme-based tablet rather than a synthetic small-molecule drug, Serrin 5mg Tablet is handled and stored somewhat differently from ordinary film-coated tablets, since enzyme potency can be sensitive to heat, moisture and prolonged storage. Each pack carries a batch number and expiry date printed by the manufacturer, and the tablets are intended for oral use only and should never be crushed into food or drink without first checking with a pharmacist. DoctorOnCall lists this product for customers across Malaysia and Singapore who are looking for a straightforward, single-ingredient enzyme tablet in a convenient 10-tablet pack.

Serrin 5mg Tablet is taken by mouth. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of plain water; do not chew, crush or dissolve the tablet, as this may affect how the enzyme is absorbed. Serratiopeptidase-based tablets are commonly taken on an empty stomach, roughly 30 to 60 minutes before a meal or at least two hours after eating, unless a doctor or pharmacist has advised otherwise for a particular customer.

Take the tablet at roughly the same times each day to keep dosing consistent, and do not take a double dose to make up for one that was missed—simply take the next dose at its usual scheduled time. If a course of tablets has been recommended by a doctor, complete the full course unless advised to stop.

The usual adult dosage for Serrin 5mg Tablet is one tablet taken two to three times a day, or exactly as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the dose or frequency stated on the product packaging or advised by a healthcare professional.

Serrin 5mg Tablet has not been established as suitable for children, and dosing in elderly patients or those with kidney or liver impairment should only be adjusted under medical supervision. If several days of regular use pass without the expected result, or if new symptoms appear, stop self-dosing and consult a doctor or pharmacist rather than increasing the dose on your own.

Use Serrin 5mg Tablet before the expiry date printed on the blister strip and outer carton. Do not use the tablets past this date, and do not use a tablet if the blister foil has been damaged, punctured or shows signs of moisture ingress, as this can affect the stability of the enzyme.

• Store Serrin 5mg Tablet at room temperature, generally below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and away from bathrooms or kitchens where humidity is higher. Keep the tablets in their original blister strip and outer carton until just before use, and keep the pack out of reach and sight of children and pets.
• Do not store this product in a car, near a window, or anywhere temperatures can rise significantly, as heat can reduce enzyme potency. If in doubt about whether a pack has been stored correctly, check with a DoctorOnCall pharmacist before use.

• Common: Mild nausea or an upset stomach, particularly if the tablet is taken with food.
• Common: Occasional loose stools or mild diarrhoea.
• Common: Mild dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Uncommon: Skin rash or itching, which may indicate a sensitivity to the enzyme.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic reaction such as facial or throat swelling, difficulty breathing, or a widespread rash, which need immediate emergency care.
• Serious: Unusual bruising or bleeding, which should be reported to a doctor promptly, especially in anyone taking blood-thinning medicine.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to serratiopeptidase or to any other ingredient in the tablet.
• Active bleeding disorders or a recent history of significant bleeding, unless a doctor has confirmed the tablet is safe to take.
• Use immediately before or after surgery or invasive dental procedures without first checking with the treating doctor or dentist.
• Children, unless specifically directed by a doctor, as safety in this age group has not been established.

• Serrin 5mg Tablet should be used cautiously alongside anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines (such as warfarin, aspirin or clopidogrel), as enzyme products of this type may add to the effect on bleeding tendency.
• Caution is advised when combining this tablet with other enzyme-based or herbal supplements that are also promoted for similar purposes, to avoid unpredictable additive effects.
• No specific food interaction has been established, although taking the tablet on an empty stomach, away from meals, is generally recommended for consistent absorption.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water rather than chewing or crushing it.
• Take each dose around the same time every day so it’s easier to remember.
• Store the pack in a cool, dry cupboard, not in the bathroom or near a stove.
• Keep tablets in their original blister strip until just before you take them.
• Check the expiry date on the carton before every new pack you open.
• Keep a note of when you started the tablets so you can tell a doctor or pharmacist how long you’ve been taking them.

Precautions: Serrin 5mg Tablet should be used cautiously by anyone taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, anyone with a bleeding disorder, and anyone scheduled for surgery or a dental procedure in the near future—stopping the tablet beforehand may be advised by the treating doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and anyone with kidney or liver impairment should check with a doctor or pharmacist before use, as safety data in these groups is limited.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Stop use and seek medical attention if signs of an allergic reaction occur, such as facial or throat swelling, difficulty breathing, or a widespread rash. Also seek medical advice if unusual bruising or bleeding develops, or if there is no improvement after a reasonable period of correct use.
