Acedol P Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Acedol P Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to manage pain and inflammation:

• Aceclofenac (100 mg): This component of the medicine belongs to the NSAID class. It inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2. These enzymes play a crucial role in the production of prostaglandins: substances in your body that mediate pain, inflammation and fever. By blocking these enzymes, aceclofenac reduces the production of prostaglandins, thus decreasing inflammation and pain.

• Paracetamol (500 mg): Known as a derivative of para-aminophenol, paracetamol has analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It inhibits the production of prostaglandins in the central nervous system. This action raises your threshold for pain and reduces fever, making it a useful component in combination with aceclofenac for comprehensive pain management.

Together, these two ingredients provide multi-faceted relief from pain and inflammation, making Acedol P Tablet 10 more effective than either ingredient alone.

• Store Acedol P Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• The ideal storage temperature is room temperature, around 20-25°C.

• Avoid storage in moist areas such as the bathroom or near the kitchen sink to prevent damage.

• Keep Acedol P Tablet 10 out of reach of children to ensure safety.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack before use.

• If you're taking Acedol P Tablet 10 for arthritis, try including omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Foods like fish and walnuts are rich in omega-3, which can help manage inflammation associated with arthritis.

• Regular, gentle exercise such as swimming or walking can help maintain joint flexibility and reduce stiffness, particularly beneficial if you're managing conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
