Off-label Uses

Acenol 200mg Tablet SR works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause pain and inflammation. This helps reduce symptoms like swelling, pain, and stiffness.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that mediate inflammation and pain. By inhibiting COX, Aceclofenac reduces the formation of these compounds, thereby alleviating pain and inflammation.
