ACLOZEST P
Product Description
ACLOZEST P tablet is a prescription pain-relief medicine containing Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. It is commonly used to treat moderate pain, inflammation, and fever associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dental pain, back pain, muscle injury, and post-surgical pain. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and swelling, while Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic to relieve pain and lower fever. Together, they provide effective relief from inflammatory and musculoskeletal pain. ACLOZEST P tablet is widely available in India in strengths such as Aceclofenac 100 mg with Paracetamol 325 mg.
Pharmacist Note
Take ACLOZEST P after meals to help reduce stomach irritation caused by Aceclofenac. Swallow the tablet whole with water and avoid crushing it unless instructed by your doctor. Do not take other medicines containing Paracetamol while using ACLOZEST P because this may increase the risk of liver damage. Long-term or excessive use should be avoided unless recommended by a doctor, especially in patients with liver disease, stomach ulcers, or kidney problems.
