Off-label Uses

Aceclofenac works by blocking the effect of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes are involved in the production of substances called prostaglandins in the body, which cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac is a COX inhibitor that selectively inhibits COX-2, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins. This results in reduced inflammation and pain at the site of injury or damage.

• Pain Relief — Effectively reduces pain in various conditions.
• Anti-inflammatory — Decreases inflammation and swelling in joints.
• Improved Mobility — Helps improve joint function and mobility.

Initial improvement in pain and inflammation may be noticed within a few hours of taking the tablet. Full therapeutic effects are usually observed after regular use for a few days. If there is no improvement in symptoms after one week, consult your doctor.
