Pharmacology

Aceclofenac works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemical mediators involved in pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, Apitac Tablet effectively alleviates pain and inflammation and decreases swelling and stiffness in affected joints.

Aceclofenac has a favorable gastrointestinal tolerability profile compared to some traditional NSAIDs, making it suitable for long-term use under medical supervision. It provides both analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects without significantly affecting platelet function at therapeutic doses.
