Description

Acidol-P is a combination pain-relieving medication containing two active ingredients: Aceclofenac (100 mg) and Paracetamol (325 mg or 500 mg, depending on the specific variant). It is primarily used for the short-term relief of pain, inflammation, and swelling in various conditions.
Common Uses
  • Joint and Bone Conditions: Relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
  • General Pain Relief: Treating muscle pain, backaches, toothaches, and pain in the ear or throat.
  • Other Conditions: Easing discomfort from headaches, mild migraines, and menstrual cramps.
  • Fever: Helping to reduce elevated body temperature.
How it Works
  • Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for pain and inflammation.
  • Paracetamol acts as an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer) by blocking pain signals in the brain and affecting the body’s heat-regulating center.
Important Safety Information
  • Dosage: It should be taken exactly as directed by a physician. Taking more than the prescribed dose can lead to severe liver damage.
  • Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, stomach pain, and indigestion.
  • Precautions:
    • Ideally, take it after meals to minimize potential stomach irritation.
    • Avoid alcohol while taking this medication as it significantly increases the risk of liver damage and stomach bleeding.
    • It is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
    • Consult your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, or liver and kidney diseases.
