ALTRADAY CAPSULE 10S

Product Introduction:

Altraday Capsule is a pharmaceutical formulation combining Aceclofenac (200mg) and Rabeprazole (20mg). Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), while Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This combination medication is primarily prescribed for the management of pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, while also providing gastrointestinal protection against NSAID-induced gastric ulcers and acidity.

Altraday Capsule can be taken with or without food. The dose will depend on what you are taking it for and how well it helps your symptoms. You should take it as advised by your doctor. Do not take more or use it for a longer duration than recommended by the doctor.

The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, flatulence, indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation. If any of these side effects bother you or get worse, you should speak to your doctor. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the side effects.

Before taking it, you should let your doctor know if you have a history of ulcer or bleeding in your stomach, high blood pressure, or have any trouble with your heart, kidneys, or liver. Let your doctor also know about all the other medicines you are taking because they may affect, or be affected by, this medicine.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting treatment. You should also avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking this medicine, as alcohol can cause excessive drowsiness.

Benefits:

1. Pain Relief: Altraday Capsule effectively relieves pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, and musculoskeletal disorders, thanks to the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of Aceclofenac.
2. Gastric Protection: The inclusion of Rabeprazole helps in reducing the production of gastric acid, thereby lowering the risk of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers and acidity, making it safer for long-term use.
3. Improved Tolerance: Combining Aceclofenac with Rabeprazole enhances the tolerability of the medication, reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with NSAIDs.
4. Convenient Dosage Form: Altraday Capsule provides the convenience of a single capsule containing both pain relief and gastric protection components, simplifying the treatment regimen for patients.

Side Effects:

While Altraday Capsule offers benefits in pain relief and gastric protection, it may also be associated with certain side effects, including:

1. Gastrointestinal Issues: Common side effects may include nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Long-term use of NSAIDs like Aceclofenac may increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
2. Renal and Hepatic Effects: Aceclofenac may affect kidney and liver function, particularly with long-term use or high doses. Patients with pre-existing renal or hepatic conditions should use this medication with caution.
3. Cardiovascular Risk: Prolonged use of NSAIDs may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, especially in individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.
4. Hypersensitivity Reactions: Rarely, individuals may experience allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or difficulty breathing.

Usage Guidelines:

1. Dosage: The recommended dosage of Altraday Capsule should be as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is typically taken orally with water.
2. Timing: Altraday Capsule can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal irritation.
3. Duration: Use the medication for the duration advised by the physician. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or duration of treatment.
4. Avoid Alcohol: Consumption of alcohol should be minimized while taking Altraday Capsule to reduce the risk of liver damage and adverse effects.
5. Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular dosing schedule.

Drug Interactions:

Altraday Capsule may interact with certain medications, including:

1. Anticoagulants: Concurrent use with anticoagulants like warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding.
2. Methotrexate: Combining Altraday Capsule with methotrexate may increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity.
3. Diuretics: Concurrent use with diuretics may reduce the efficacy of both medications and increase the risk of renal impairment.
4. Other NSAIDs: Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs, as it may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and adverse effects.

It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and medical conditions before initiating treatment with Altraday Capsule to prevent potential drug interactions and adverse effects. Always follow the prescribed dosage and usage instructions for optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing the risk of side effects.
