Acenac 100 mg Tablets 10’s

Description

Acenac 100 mg is a medication that contains Aceclofenac as the active ingredient. It is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties.

Composition:

• Aceclofenac 100 mg per tablet.

What is Aceclofenac?

• Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these chemicals, Aceclofenac helps to reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness, particularly in conditions like arthritis or musculoskeletal disorders.

Indications:

• Pain relief: For conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and musculoskeletal pain.
• Inflammation control: Reduces inflammation in conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, or sprains.
• Fever reduction: Although primarily used for pain and inflammation, Aceclofenac can also help in reducing fever.

Dosage:

• The dosage is usually 1 tablet (100 mg) twice a day, but this should be adjusted based on the physician’s advice and the specific condition being treated.

Common Side Effects:

Like most NSAIDs, Aceclofenac may cause side effects, including:

• Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dyspepsia (indigestion), or even more serious issues like ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding (especially with long-term use).
• Headache, dizziness, or drowsiness.
• Skin reactions: Rash or itching.
• Liver or kidney issues (rare but serious, especially with long-term use).

Warnings and Precautions:

• Gastrointestinal Risk: NSAIDs can cause stomach irritation, ulcers, or bleeding, so they should be taken with food or milk to reduce irritation.
• Kidney and Liver Function: Caution is advised if you have pre-existing kidney or liver problems, as Aceclofenac can exacerbate these conditions.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Aceclofenac is generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, and should be used with caution in breastfeeding mothers.
• Drug Interactions: Aceclofenac may interact with other medications such as anticoagulants (blood thinners), other NSAIDs, or certain blood pressure medications.

Storage:

• Keep in a cool, dry place, protected from light. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children.

Summary:

Acenac 100 mg is a potent anti-inflammatory medication primarily used to manage pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, or post-injury swelling. Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult your healthcare provider before using this medication, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
