Aceclofenac works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins. This leads to decreased inflammation and pain in the affected tissues.
