Aceclofenac 100 Mg Tablet

About Aceclofenac 100 Mg Tablet

Aceclofenac 100 mg Tablet is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various conditions. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the body (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation and pain.

Common uses:

• Osteoarthritis: To reduce pain and inflammation in the joints.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: For managing pain and inflammation in the joints.
• Acute pain: Including pain from injuries, dental procedures, or surgery.
• Musculoskeletal disorders: Used for conditions like back pain, muscle pain, or sprains.

How it works:

• Aceclofenac helps reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of inflammatory prostaglandins in the body.

Dosage:

• The typical dose is 100 mg once or twice a day, depending on the condition and your doctor's recommendation.
• It is usually taken with food to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal irritation.

Possible side effects:

• Gastrointestinal issues: Upset stomach, nausea, indigestion, or ulcers in rare cases.
• Headaches or dizziness.
• Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, or swelling.
• Kidney or liver issues: Prolonged use can potentially affect kidney or liver function, so it should be monitored in long-term use.

Warnings and precautions:

• Gastrointestinal risk: Like other NSAIDs, aceclofenac can increase the risk of ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly when used for long periods.
• Kidney or heart conditions: Those with existing kidney or heart issues should use this medication with caution and under medical supervision.

If you're using aceclofenac and experiencing side effects or have any questions about its use, it's important to consult your healthcare provider.
