Texfenac-RD Capsule SR is a combination medication containing Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole. It is primarily used for treating pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders such as arthritis. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation, while Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that protects the stomach from acid-related damage caused by NSAIDs. This combination ensures effective relief from pain while minimizing the risk of gastric irritation.
