Indications
• Pain relief
Pharmacology
After oral intake, aceclofenac is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentration in about 1.25 to 3 hours. It is highly protein-bound (over 99%). It is metabolized in the liver, mainly to 4'-hydroxyaceclofenac, with a smaller fraction converted to diclofenac, primarily via the CYP2C9 enzyme pathway. Its elimination half-life is approximately 4 hours, and it is excreted mainly through urine.
Dosage
Adult Dose: Cautiously administer to patients with GI disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, haematological abnormalities, hepatic porphyria; history of bronchial asthma; history of heart failure or hypertension; mild renal, hepatic or cardiac impairment. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Elderly. Patients suffering from severe hepatic impairment must be monitored. Renal Dose: Aceclofenac, a phenylacetic acid derivative, has antiinflammatory and analgesic properties. It is a potent inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase which is involved in the production of prostaglandins.
