ALCINAC-FORTE

Description

Alcinac-Forte Tablet is a combination medicine used for effective pain relief, reduction of inflammation, and swelling in various short-term and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

How it Works / Key Benefits:

• Aceclofenac: A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes and reduces production of prostaglandins, helping relieve pain and inflammation at sites of injury or disease.

• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): Centrally acting analgesic and antipyretic that enhances the pain-relieving and fever-reducing effects of aceclofenac with less stomach irritation.

• Serratiopeptidase: A proteolytic enzyme that breaks down abnormal proteins such as fibrin in inflamed tissue, thereby reducing swelling, improving fluid drainage, and accelerating tissue healing.

Uses:

• Relief of moderate to severe pain, inflammation, and swelling in musculoskeletal and joint disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis

• Back pain, dental pain, muscle strains, sprains, soft tissue injuries, post-operative or post-traumatic pain

• Management of pain, swelling, and stiffness in a wide range of acute and chronic orthopedic, dental, and minor surgical conditions

Dosage & Administration:

• Usual adult dose: 1 tablet 1–2 times daily (exact frequency as advised by your doctor)

• Take after food with a glass of water to minimize stomach upset

• Swallow whole, do not crush or chew

• Not recommended for long-term use without medical supervision

Safety & Precautions:

• Contraindicated in those with known allergy to NSAIDs/serratiopeptidase/paracetamol or with active stomach ulcers, severe liver/kidney/heart disorders, or bleeding disorders

• Common side effects: nausea, vomiting, indigestion, stomach pain, loose motions, dizziness, drowsiness, increased liver enzymes

• Use with caution in elderly and those on multiple medicines

• Limit alcohol use to prevent possible liver damage

• Not for children under 18 years unless strictly advised by a healthcare provider

Note:
Take only as prescribed and report any new symptoms or severe side effects promptly. Routine or prolonged use should be monitored with regular doctor check-ups, especially for those with chronic disease or taking other medications.
