Alcinac-P Tablet is a combination painkiller and anti-inflammatory medication widely used for the relief of pain and swelling in various conditions.

How it Works:

• Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation at the injury or disease site.

• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) acts centrally to reduce pain and also lowers fever (antipyretic effect). It is less irritating to the stomach compared to some other painkillers.

Uses of Alcinac-P (Aceclofenac + Paracetamol):

• Management of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, musculoskeletal pain

• Relief of lower back pain, dental pain, headache, joint pain, menstrual cramps, and minor injuries

• Reducing fever and swelling associated with inflammatory conditions

Key Benefits:

• Provides rapid and effective pain relief and reduces swelling

• Offers dual action—strong anti-inflammatory from aceclofenac and good pain relief from paracetamol

• Well tolerated by most patients, with a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation compared to NSAIDs alone

Dosage & Administration:

• Usual adult dose: One tablet (100/325mg), taken 1–2 times daily as advised by your physician

• Should be taken with or after food to minimize stomach upset

• Swallow whole with water; do not crush, break, or chew the tablet

• Do not exceed recommended dose or duration; follow doctor’s prescription

Safety & Precautions:

• Not suitable for patients with known allergy to NSAIDs/paracetamol, active ulcers or bleeding in stomach/intestine, severe heart, liver, kidney disease, or during the last trimester of pregnancy

• May cause dizziness, sleepiness, upset stomach, nausea, or mild abdominal pain—notify your doctor if symptoms persist

• Avoid alcohol as it increases the risk of stomach bleeding and potential liver toxicity

• Some medicines may interact—always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements

• Regular monitoring may be needed for long-term use

Note:
Alcinac-P is a prescription medicine for short-term use in pain and inflammation relief. Take exactly as prescribed, and report any new or unusual symptoms to your doctor.

Alcinac-PG Forte Tablet SR is a combination prescription medicine used primarily for the management of neuropathic pain and chronic pain conditions associated with nerve damage and inflammation.

How it Works / Key Benefits:

• Aceclofenac (SR): A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, and therefore, reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins at injury/inflammation sites. The sustained release (SR) formulation provides prolonged pain control.

• Pregabalin (SR): An anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain modulator that calms overactive or damaged nerves, reducing abnormal pain sensations like burning, tingling, throbbing, and numbness. Its SR form ensures a steady level for continuous pain relief.

Indications / Uses:

• Neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage or dysfunction), including diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, nerve root pain, neuralgia

• Chronic post-surgical or post-traumatic pain

• Musculoskeletal pain with nerve involvement, peripheral neuropathies, chronic back, or cervical pain

Dosage & Administration:

• Usually one tablet once daily (or as advised by physician)

• Take after food to decrease risk of stomach upset

• Swallow whole with water; do not break, crush, or chew the tablet

• Dosage and duration depend on the condition and response

Common Side Effects:

• Nausea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, heartburn

• Dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, uncoordinated movements, dryness in mouth

• Headache, flushing

Safety & Precautions:

• Not suitable for patients with allergy to NSAIDs, severe heart/liver/kidney disease, GI ulcers, or uncontrolled hypertension

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only if recommended by a doctor

• Caution in elderly or those with history of substance abuse/seizures

• Avoid driving or using machinery if you feel drowsy or dizzy

• Avoid alcohol, as it can worsen side effects

Note:
Use only on prescription and do not exceed recommended dose. Inform your doctor of all medicines and health conditions before starting. Report persistent side effects or new symptoms promptly for safe management.

Alcinac-SR Tablet contains aceclofenac in a sustained release (SR) formulation, designed for once-daily dosing to provide long-lasting pain and inflammation relief.

How it Works / Key Benefits:

• Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes—mainly COX-2—responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins, which mediate pain, swelling, and inflammation.

• Decreases levels of inflammatory mediators (like prostaglandin E2, TNF-α, and IL-1β), hence reducing pain and inflammatory responses in conditions like arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders.

• The sustained release matrix ensures a slow, steady release of aceclofenac, maintaining blood levels over a 24-hour period for prolonged efficacy and stable symptom control.

Uses of Alcinac-SR (Aceclofenac SR):

• Management of chronic pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis

• Relief from backache, joint pain, and other long-term musculoskeletal/inflammatory conditions

Dosage & Administration:

• Usual adult dose: One 200 mg sustained release tablet once daily, swallowed whole with water

• Take preferably with or after food to minimize stomach upset

• Designed for once-daily use for convenience and better compliance

Safety & Precautions:

• Avoid if you have allergy to NSAIDs/aceclofenac, active ulcers, severe liver/kidney/heart disorders, or in late pregnancy

• Not recommended for children under 18 unless directed

• Common side effects: stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, dizziness; rarely, severe ulcer/bleeding risk—report any persistent symptoms to your doctor promptly

• If taken long-term, regular monitoring of renal and liver functions and blood counts may be required

• Always follow your doctor’s prescription—do not exceed recommended dose or duration

Note:
Alcinac-SR is a prescription medication intended for long-term symptom management with the benefit of once-daily dosing. Use only as directed and report any new or severe adverse effects to your healthcare provider.
