Aceclo Plus Tablets 15’s

Description

Aceclo Plus is a combination medication containing Aceclofenac and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen). This combination enhances the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects, making it useful for treating conditions that involve pain and inflammation.

Composition:

• Aceclofenac 100 mg
• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 325 mg
• Excipients: These are the inactive ingredients used for the formulation of the tablet, such as binders, fillers, and coatings. The exact excipients are not usually specified but are generally included to help in the stability, manufacturing, and absorption of the tablet.

What Each Ingredient Does:

1. Aceclofenac (100 mg):
   • Anti-inflammatory and Pain-relieving: Aceclofenac is a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and fever in the body. It helps reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness, commonly used for conditions like arthritis, back pain, and musculoskeletal pain.
2. Paracetamol (325 mg):
   • Pain Reliever and Fever Reducer: Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It helps alleviate mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, muscle pain, or post-operative pain, and also lowers fever. Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol works centrally in the brain to reduce pain and fever without affecting inflammation significantly.

Indications:

• Aceclo Plus is commonly prescribed for the treatment of:
  • Pain Relief: Used for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, dental pain, and musculoskeletal pain.
  • Inflammation: Effective in reducing inflammation in conditions like joint pain, sprains, strains, and other inflammatory disorders.
  • Fever: Can help in reducing fever associated with various infections or conditions.

Dosage:

• Typically, the dosage is 1 tablet of Aceclo Plus twice a day (morning and evening), but the exact dosage should always be determined by your healthcare provider.
• It is advisable to take the tablet with food or milk to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort, as both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol can be harsh on an empty stomach.

Common Side Effects:

While Aceclo Plus is effective, some side effects may occur, including:

• Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, indigestion, or abdominal discomfort. NSAIDs like Aceclofenac may also cause more serious issues like ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding (especially with long-term use).
• Dizziness or headache: Both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol can cause mild dizziness or headaches in some individuals.
• Rashes or skin reactions: Rare allergic reactions to either Aceclofenac or Paracetamol.
• Liver or kidney effects: Long-term or high-dose use of Aceclofenac or Paracetamol can affect liver or kidney function (especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions).

Warnings and Precautions:

• Gastrointestinal Risk: NSAIDs like Aceclofenac can cause irritation, ulcers, or bleeding in the stomach and intestines, particularly when used for prolonged periods. To reduce the risk, take the medication with food.
• Liver and Kidney Function: Use caution if you have pre-existing liver or kidney problems. Both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol can affect liver or kidney function, especially with prolonged use or in high doses.
• Allergic Reactions: Individuals with known allergies to NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin or ibuprofen) or Paracetamol should not take Aceclo Plus.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Aceclofenac is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to potential risks to the fetus. It should also be used with caution during breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor before taking any medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Alcohol: It’s advisable to avoid alcohol while taking Aceclo Plus, as both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol can be harmful to the liver, and alcohol consumption may increase the risk of liver damage.

Storage:

• Store Aceclo Plus in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep it out of the reach of children.
