Ryvel Ace 200mg/20mg Capsule SR is a combination medication containing Aceclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor. Aceclofenac helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling caused by conditions such as arthritis, while Rabeprazole protects the stomach from the gastrointestinal issues often associated with long-term NSAID use, like ulcers and acid reflux. This sustained-release formulation ensures prolonged pain relief and stomach protection.
