Magnarab A 200mg/20mg Capsule SR is a combination of Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole designed to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation while preventing the stomach damage commonly associated with long-term use of NSAIDs. Aceclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), reduces pain and swelling caused by inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that lowers stomach acid production, protecting the gastrointestinal tract from irritation and ulcers caused by prolonged NSAID therapy. The sustained-release formulation ensures continuous and long-lasting relief.
