Common use

Aceclofenac is used to relieve pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It works by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production and reduces swelling and discomfort.

Dosage and direction

The usual dose is 100 mg taken orally twice a day, or as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Take the tablets with water after meals to lessen stomach irritation. Always follow the dosing instructions given by your doctor.

Tell your doctor if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or asthma. Avoid long‑term use without medical supervision and watch for signs of stomach upset or allergic reactions.
