Aceclofenac Tablets (Dispersible & SR available)

Aceclofenac Tablets

Aceclofenac is a type of medicine known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) or analgesics. The medicines are utilized to alleviate and lessen pain and inflammation (swelling) related to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Arthritis refers to a condition that causes joint symptoms. Symptoms are swelling, pain, inflammation, stiffness, and tenderness.

Aceclofenac has Aceclofenac in it, which acts by inhibiting the action of a chemical messenger called cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that forms other chemical prostaglandins. Inhibiting the action of COX enzymes results in the formation of fewer prostaglandins. This prevents mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the site of injury or damage. In rare instances, Aceclofenac can result in some of the general side effects like dizziness, diarrhoea, nausea, and raised liver enzymes in the blood. Such side effects are mostly not serious and will be resolved gradually by themselves over time.
