ACECLOWAL RAB SR
Product Description
ACECLOWAL RAB SR tablet is a combination medicine containing Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Rabeprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and joint disorders while protecting the stomach from acid-related irritation caused by NSAIDs. This dual-action formula helps reduce pain and lowers the risk of gastric ulcers or acidity. ACECLOWAL RAB SR tablet is commonly available in strengths like Aceclofenac 100 mg with Rabeprazole 20 mg, depending on the manufacturer and prescription.
Pharmacist Note
Take ACECLOWAL RAB SR as prescribed, usually before meals for better absorption of Rabeprazole. Swallow the tablet whole without crushing or chewing.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of ulcers, liver issues, or are taking blood thinners.

- Report Severe Symptoms: Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe stomach pain, unusual bleeding, or signs of heart issues.
- Avoid During Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy, especially the third trimester, unless advised by your doctor.
