Redugesic OD Capsule SR

Redugesic OD Capsule SR is a combination of Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole, designed to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation while protecting the stomach from the adverse effects associated with prolonged NSAID use. Aceclofenac, an NSAID, helps to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness in conditions such as arthritis, while Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, reduces stomach acid production, preventing gastrointestinal issues like ulcers and irritation caused by prolonged use of pain medications. The sustained-release formulation ensures long-lasting and controlled relief.

How Redugesic OD Capsule SR works

Aceclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme responsible for producing inflammatory chemicals like prostaglandins, thus reducing pain and swelling.
