Off-label Uses

Acetar MR works by combining the effects of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain by blocking the production of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. Paracetamol helps to relieve pain and reduce fever.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, substances that mediate inflammation and pain. Paracetamol works centrally in the brain to block pain signals and reduce fever by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system.
