The arthritis symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, redness, tenderness, swelling in and around joints, and reduced movement of joints.

ACECLOFENAC+RABEPRAZOLE is a combination of two drugs: Aceclofenac (painkiller) and Rabeprazole (antacid). Aceclofenac belongs to a group of pain killers that works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body involved in the production of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling. This reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site decreasing stiffness in joints. Aceclofenac has been reported to cause gastric discomfort and acidity. Hence, it is combined with Rabeprazole, a medicine, that belongs to a group of proton pump inhibitors that reduce the amount of acid made by the stomach, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, the combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Aceclofenac alone.

Medicinal Benefits of Acephar-RSR Capsule

ACECLOFENAC+RABEPRAZOLE is a combination of two drugs: Aceclofenac (painkiller) and Rabeprazole (antacid). Aceclofenac belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (pain killers) that block the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). Prostaglandins play an important role in controlling pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced. Thereby, it helps relieve pain and swelling associated with different types of arthritis such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis (pain and stiffness in the backbone). On the other hand, Rabeprazole belongs to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that help reduce the excess amount of stomach acid and bile produced. Aceclofenac has been reported to cause gastric discomfort and acidity. Hence, it is combined with Rabeprazole, a medicine that reduces the amount of acid made by the stomach, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, the combination is superior as it helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Aceclofenac alone. ACECLOFENAC+RABEPRAZOLE also used to relieve toothache, lower back pain, ear pain and throat pain.
