Achetiva Capsule SR is a combination medication containing Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole. This formulation is primarily used for managing pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Aceclofenac, an NSAID, provides relief from pain and swelling, while Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, protects the stomach lining from irritation and ulcers caused by prolonged use of NSAIDs.
