Taking Hifenac D (which contains aceclofenac) can temporarily affect some of your blood test results. Because it is an anti-inflammatory medication, it may lower your inflammatory markers, like CRP and ESR, which could mask the true level of inflammation. However, it will not affect specific rheumatoid arthritis antibody tests, such as RF or anti-CCP, and it rarely impacts routine blood counts. Simply let your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you have been taking Hifenac D so they can interpret your results accurately.
