Acenox RZ 200mg/20mg Capsule SR is a combination of Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole, designed to offer effective relief from pain and inflammation while protecting the stomach from the potential side effects of long-term NSAID use. Aceclofenac is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness, especially in conditions like arthritis, while Rabeprazole reduces stomach acid production, preventing gastric irritation and ulcers that may result from prolonged use of NSAIDs. The sustained-release formulation ensures continuous relief over time.
