Description
Product Introduction
ACENIL-100 is a brand name for Aceclofenac and is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and reduce fever. It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
Aceclofenac is commonly used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and pain caused by menstrual cramps. It is available in tablet form and is usually taken once or twice daily with food, as directed by your doctor.
Like other NSAIDs, aceclofenac can cause side effects, such as upset stomach, heartburn, and diarrhea. In some cases, it may also increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially in people who have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure. It is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using aceclofenac and to follow their instructions for use.
Mechanism of Actions
Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
Aceclofenac works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). COX is responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and inflammation in the body. By blocking COX, aceclofenac reduces the production of prostaglandins and thus helps to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever.
It's important to note that aceclofenac only partially blocks the COX enzyme, which makes it a so-called "COX-2 selective" NSAID. Unlike other NSAIDs, which can block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, aceclofenac has a lower risk of causing side effects such as stomach bleeding, which is associated with COX-1 inhibition.
