How BrandName works
This medicine consists of active ingredients such as aceclofenac (sustained release) 200 mg and rabeprazole (enteric coated) 20 mg that work together to relieve pain and protect the stomach. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation by blocking prostaglandin production. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases stomach acid production and helps protect the stomach lining from irritation and ulcers that may occur with NSAID use.
