Acenac-P – Strip of 15 Tablets
Acenac-P is a combination medication that contains the following active ingredients:
- Aceclofenac – 100 mg
- Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) – 325 mg
Breakdown of Active Ingredients:
- Aceclofenac (100 mg):
- Classification: Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID)
- Action: It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever. It is primarily used for managing pain and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.
- Common Uses: Pain relief (especially from inflammation), treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
- Paracetamol (325 mg):
- Classification: Analgesic (pain reliever) and Antipyretic (fever reducer)
- Action: Paracetamol works by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the brain, reducing pain and lowering fever. It’s effective for mild to moderate pain relief and is commonly used for headaches, toothaches, menstrual pain, and other types of discomfort.
- Common Uses: Pain relief (e.g., for headaches, body aches, fever reduction).
How Acenac-P Works:
The combination of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol provides both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Aceclofenac helps to reduce inflammation and pain at the site of injury or infection, while Paracetamol helps to manage pain and lower fever. Together, they can provide more comprehensive relief for conditions that involve both pain and inflammation.
Typical Uses:
- Arthritis (both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
- Musculoskeletal pain (e.g., back pain, joint pain, sprains)
- Post-operative pain or pain following dental procedures
- Fever and pain relief in certain infections or inflammatory conditions
Dosage:
- Recommended Dosage: Typically, 1 tablet twice a day after meals, or as directed by a doctor.
- It is advised to take the tablet with food or after meals to reduce any potential stomach irritation caused by Aceclofenac.
Side Effects:
- Common side effects may include:
- Upset stomach, indigestion, or nausea
- Dizziness, headache, or drowsiness
- Skin rashes
- Serious side effects (though rare) can include:
- Liver or kidney issues
- Ulcers or bleeding in the stomach
- Allergic reactions (e.g., swelling, difficulty breathing)
Warnings and Precautions:
- Liver and Kidney Issues: If you have a history of liver or kidney problems, consult your doctor before using Acenac-P.
- Pregnancy: It’s generally advised to avoid Aceclofenac, particularly in the third trimester of pregnancy, unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. Paracetamol is considered relatively safe during pregnancy, but always check with your healthcare provider.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking (e.g., blood thinners, other NSAIDs, or medications for high blood pressure).
If you’re unsure whether this medication is right for you or have specific concerns, it’s best to discuss with a healthcare provider who can tailor advice based on your medical history.
