Acedex-R Capsule SR is a combination medicine containing Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole. It is commonly prescribed for managing pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders. While Aceclofenac works as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to reduce swelling and discomfort, Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that protects the stomach lining by reducing acid production. This combination offers effective pain relief with added gastrointestinal protection, especially in patients requiring long-term NSAID therapy.
