Aceclofenac works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). COX is involved in the production of chemicals like prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation.

Scientifically, Aceclofenac inhibits the COX enzymes, which are responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, it helps in reducing inflammation and pain.
