Pharmacological properties of the drug Serrata
Pharmacodynamics. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the non-pathogenic intestinal bacterium Serratia E15. Clinical studies have shown that serratiopeptidase has fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects. In addition to reducing inflammation, serratiopeptidase reduces pain by blocking the release of pain amines from inflamed tissues. Serratiopeptidase binds in a 1:1 ratio to blood α2-macroglobulin, which masks its antigenicity but retains enzymatic activity. Serratiopeptidase slowly penetrates into the exudate at the site of inflammation and its level in the blood gradually decreases. By hydrolyzing bradykinin, histamine and serotonin, serratiopeptidase reduces capillary dilatation and controls capillary permeability. Serratiopeptidase blocks plasmin inhibitors, thus promoting the fibrinolytic activity of plasmin. By reducing swelling and improving microcirculation, serratiopeptidase promotes mucus separation. Pharmacokinetics. The drug passes through the stomach unchanged and is absorbed in the intestines. Serratiopeptidase is detected in small amounts in the urine.

Instructions for medical use of the drug SERRATATM Trade name SERRATATM International nonproprietary name No Dosage form Film-coated tablets, enteric, 10 mg Composition One tablet contains the active substance - serratiopeptidase 10 mg, excipients: lactose monohydrate, corn starch, light magnesium carbonate, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, shell composition: coating Opadry YS-1-7027 white (titanium dioxide, hypromellose, triacetin), Opadry OY-P-7171 white (diethyl phthalate, titanium dioxide, stearic acid, polyvinyl acetate phthalate), purified water, alcohol isopropyl, methylene chloride. Description Round, biconvex tablet, enteric-coated, white. Pharmacotherapeutic group Other drugs for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Enzyme preparations. ATC code M09 AB Pharmacological properties Pharmacokinetics The drug passes through the stomach unchanged and is absorbed in the intestine. Maximum plasma concentration is achieved after 1 hour. Serratiopeptidase is detected in small amounts in the urine. When prescribing a therapeutic dose of serratiopeptidase, it is not possible to study the pharmacokinetics due to the instability of the enzyme in the blood. Absorption can be studied when high doses are administered to volunteers. Serratiopeptidase in plasma is determined after oral administration at a dosage of 100 mg/kg, its peak concentration is detected after 30 minutes. and within 2 hours after administration, it is absorbed in the small intestine and circulates in the blood in the form of enzyme-like active forms. Pharmacodynamics The active substance of SerrataTM - serratiopeptidase, isolated from the non-pathogenic intestinal bacterium Serratia E15, is a proteolytic enzyme with fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous activity. In addition to reducing the inflammatory process, SerrataTM reduces pain by blocking the release of pain mediators from the site of inflammation. SerrataTM binds in a 1:1 ratio to blood alpha-2-macroglobulin, which masks its antigenicity but preserves its enzymatic activity. It slowly turns into exudate at the site of inflammation, and gradually its level in the blood decreases. By hydrolyzing bradykinin, histamine and serotonin, serratiopeptidase directly reduces capillary dilatation and permeability. SerrataTM blocks plasmin inhibitors, thereby increasing fibrinolytic activity. SerrataTM, due to proteolysis of the structural proteins of sputum, improves the rheological properties of sputum and promotes its discharge. Indications for use In complex therapy - sprains and ruptures of ligaments, fractures and dislocations (to reduce swelling and restore microcirculation at the site of injury) - diseases of the upper respiratory tract (to reduce the viscosity of sputum and facilitate its discharge) - diseases of the ENT organs: facilitates the discharge of secretions paranasal sinuses - dermatitis with pain - mastitis (for resorption of hematomas, reducing congestion in the mammary glands) Method of administration and dosage The drug is prescribed as part of complex therapy in a dose of 10 mg (1 tablet) 2-3 times a day after meals. The tablets should be swallowed without chewing with 1 glass of water. The maximum single dose is 10 mg. The maximum daily dose is 30 mg. The duration of treatment depends on the nature and dynamics of the pathological process and is determined individually by the doctor. Side effects Rarely - nausea - vomiting - anorexia - epigastric discomfort - diarrhea Very rarely - nosebleeds - sputum mixed with blood - skin rashes, itching, skin flushing - acute eosinophilic pneumonia - hypersensitivity reactions are possible in persons with individual intolerance to the components of the drug Contraindications - hypersensitivity to the components of the drug - gastric ulcer - pregnancy and lactation - childhood and adolescence up to 18 years For patients with bleeding disorders, impaired liver and kidney function receiving anticoagulant treatment, careful monitoring is necessary when prescribing serratiopeptidase. Drug interactions When used simultaneously, the drug enhances the effect of anticoagulants. Concomitant use of serratiopeptidase and carbamazepine leads to a decrease in serum concentrations, therefore, to a decrease in the effect of carbamazepine. Special instructions Since the drug affects blood clotting, it should be used with caution in patients with a risk of bleeding and impaired clotting time, as well as in patients who are taking anticoagulants. In case of severe liver and kidney diseases, the drug is used with caution. The drug should not be taken by patients with rare hereditary galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Peculiarities of the drug's influence on the ability to drive a vehicle or operate potentially dangerous mechanisms. No effect. Overdose Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, epigastric discomfort, blood in the sputum and bleeding. Treatment: symptomatic therapy.

Pharmacological profile
Serata is an effective broad-spectrum enzyme agent with many beneficial properties:
- anti-inflammatory;
- painkillers;
- antioxidant;
- decongestants;
- fibrinolytic (thrombolytic).
Thanks to serratiopeptidase, the drug is characterized by proteolysis - the enzyme breaks down bradykinin, fibrin and other mediators of inflammatory pathogenesis. The medicine acts as a diuretic, helps thin the blood, improve blood circulation, including in the kidneys. Moreover, serrapeptase prevents the expansion of capillaries and their permeability, therefore inflammation is prevented and allergic reactions are stopped.
