Requires Prescription (YES/NO): Yes

Generics: Serratiopeptidase

How It Works

Danzen DS contains serratiopeptidase, an enzyme that breaks down inflammatory proteins at the site of injury or infection. This helps reduce swelling, pain, and fluid accumulation. It also thins mucus, making it useful in respiratory conditions.

    (Always follow physician’s instructions.)

  • Rare: Skin rash, muscle pain, joint pain.

  • Serious (rare): Allergic reactions, gastrointestinal bleeding.
