ACECLOFENAC
| Information for
patients
|
| Drug Information |
Aceclofenac belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs have anti-inflammatory and painkiller properties. The active ingredient of Aceclofenac is aceclofenac. Aceclofenac works by blocking the production of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are released at the sites of injury, tissue damage and immune reactions. Prostaglandins play an important role in both the inflammatory response of the body and stimulating the re-absorption of bone in diseases. Aceclofenac is used to relieve pain and inflammation in patients suffering from:
•arthritis of the joints (osteoarthritis). This commonly occurs in patients over the age of 50 and causes the loss of the cartilage and bone tissue next to the joint.
•autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints (rheumatoid arthritis).
•arthritis of the spine which can lead to the fusion of the vertebrae (ankylosing spondylitis). |
| Drug Alert |
| Alert |
•if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to aceclofenac.
•if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to aspirin or any other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac).
•if you have taken aspirin or any other NSAIDs and experienced one of the following:
-asthma attack
-runny nose, itching and/or sneezing (irritation of the nose)
-raised red circular patchy rash on the skin which may have been itchy, stung or had a burning sensation
-severe allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock). Symptoms include difficulty breathing, wheezing, abnormal pain and vomiting |
