Acifon 200mg Tablet SR works by blocking the action of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that mediate inflammation and pain. By reducing their production, Aceclofenac alleviates symptoms of pain and inflammation.
