Product Introduction:
AC PARA TABLET is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen), a pain reliever and fever reducer. This combination is often prescribed for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various conditions.
AC PARA TABLET should be taken with or without food. You should take it regularly as advised by your doctor. Your doctor may change the dose and time between doses according to your pain level and your needs. Do not take more or use it for a longer duration than recommended by your doctor.
Some of the common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, and diarrhea. If any of these side effects bother you or do not go away with time, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may help you with ways to reduce or prevent these side effects by prescribing an alternative medicine or adjusting the dose.

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. Both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol can interact with certain medications, and it’s crucial to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage to prevent potential liver damage associated with Paracetamol.
Dosage:
The dosage of AC PARA 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.
- Paracetamol: Reduces the production of prostaglandins in the brain, providing pain relief and reducing fever.
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.
- Liver Function: It’s important to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage of Paracetamol to prevent potential liver damage. Individuals with liver conditions should use the combination with caution.
It’s crucial to use Aceclofenac + Paracetamol under the guidance of a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice, monitor for side effects, and make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
