CompositionHifenac-P Tablet is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and swelling in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, dental pain, period pain and pain after injury or surgery. It is a combination medicine containing aceclofenac 100mg, which belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and paracetamol 325mg, a pain reliever and fever reducer.
This medicine works by blocking chemicals in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling and fever, with the two ingredients acting in different ways for stronger relief. Take it after food as directed by your doctor, using the lowest dose for the shortest time.
Do not take any other medicine containing paracetamol or another NSAID such as ibuprofen at the same time, as this can cause an overdose or stomach bleeding. Avoid alcohol, which raises the risk of liver damage and stomach irritation.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have a stomach ulcer or bleeding now or in the past, liver disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney problems or asthma, or take blood thinners. Do not take it in the last three months of pregnancy. Stop and seek urgent help for black stools, vomiting blood, yellowing of the skin or eyes, chest pain or wheezing.
