Okareb A 200mg/20mg Capsule SR is a combination medication that pairs Aceclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor. Aceclofenac is effective in reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Rabeprazole helps prevent gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers or irritation, that are common when using NSAIDs. This sustained-release capsule provides prolonged relief, improving your comfort while protecting your stomach from the harmful effects of long-term NSAID therapy.
