Artijesic 100mg/162.5mg

Artijesic 100mg/162.5mg Tablets is a combination medication commonly used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other joint or muscle-related issues.

This medication typically contains two active ingredients:

• Aceclofenac (100mg): A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. Aceclofenac is effective in reducing pain and improving mobility in conditions like arthritis.

• Paracetamol (162.5mg): Also known as acetaminophen, it is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Paracetamol helps to enhance the pain-relieving effects of aceclofenac while also lowering fever if present.

Artijesic 100mg/162.5mg Tablets is typically prescribed for the management of pain and inflammation associated with chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It may also be used for the short-term relief of acute pain from injuries, surgery, or other musculoskeletal issues.

Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and indigestion. Like other NSAIDs, prolonged use or high doses can increase the risk of gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers or bleeding. Paracetamol, when used in excessive amounts, can cause liver damage, so it’s important to use this medication as directed by a healthcare provider.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any existing medical conditions, such as liver or kidney problems, gastrointestinal issues, or any history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs or paracetamol. Regular monitoring may be necessary if the medication is used for an extended period.

Artijesic 100mg/162.5mg Tablets should be taken with food or after meals to minimize stomach upset, and it’s important not to exceed the prescribed dosage to avoid potential side effects.
