Uses:
- Pain Relief: The Aceclofenac component helps relieve pain associated with inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
- Muscle Relaxation: Thiocolchicoside, a muscle relaxant, helps alleviate muscle spasms and stiffness often seen in musculoskeletal disorders.
Benefits:

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
- Gastrointestinal discomfort: Such as stomach pain or indigestion (Aceclofenac).

Serious side effects are rare but can include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers (Aceclofenac). It’s important to seek medical attention if you experience severe or persistent side effects.
Drug Interactions:
The combination may interact with other medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal supplements. AC MR TABLET may interact with other NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and certain blood pressure medications.
Dosage:
The dosage of AC MR TABLET is determined by a healthcare professional based on the specific condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the individual patient’s response. It is usually taken orally with or after food to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal irritation.
Working:
- Aceclofenac (NSAID): Inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins. This helps in relieving pain and inflammation.
- Thiocolchicoside (Muscle Relaxant): Acts on the central nervous system to exert muscle relaxant effects, reducing muscle spasms and stiffness.
Precautions:
- Gastrointestinal Risk: Long-term use of NSAIDs like Aceclofenac can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers. It is often prescribed with gastroprotective agents.
- Drowsiness: Thiocolchicoside may cause drowsiness, so caution should be exercised while operating machinery or driving.
