Description
🔷 DUAL-ACTION PAIN RELIEF + GASTROPROTECTION FORMULA
Aceclofenac 200mg (SR) + Rabeprazole 20mg (EC) Tablet
COMPOSITION:
-
Aceclofenac 200 mg – Sustained Release (SR)
-
Rabeprazole Sodium 20 mg – Enteric-Coated (EC)
PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
This fixed-dose combination tablet is formulated to deliver effective and sustained anti-inflammatory action alongside gastric mucosal protection. It pairs Aceclofenac, a potent NSAID, with Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, to offer a well-balanced solution for chronic pain conditions that require long-term NSAID use.
HOW IT WORKS:
-
Aceclofenac 200 mg (SR):
-
A derivative of diclofenac, it inhibits COX-2 preferentially, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation and pain.
-
The sustained-release formulation ensures a steady therapeutic effect over an extended period, improving patient compliance and reducing the need for multiple daily doses.
-
-
Rabeprazole Sodium 20 mg (EC):
-
Inhibits the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase pump in the stomach lining, significantly reducing gastric acid secretion.
-
Enteric coating protects the active drug from stomach acid degradation, allowing absorption in the intestine and targeted action.
-
Provides effective gastroprotection, especially important during prolonged NSAID therapy.
-
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS:
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Ankylosing spondylitis

Chronic lower back pain

NSAID-induced gastric protection in at-risk populations
ADVANTAGES:
✅ Long-lasting pain relief with once-daily dosing
