Acewin 200mg Tablet SR works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac is a COX inhibitor that preferentially inhibits COX-2 over COX-1, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins in inflamed tissues, leading to decreased inflammation and pain.
