Safenac 100 MG Tablet 10 contains aceclofenac (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits COX enzymes: Aceclofenac works by blocking enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX), particularly COX-2. These enzymes play a crucial role in producing prostaglandins within your body.

• Reduces prostaglandin levels: By inhibiting COX enzymes, aceclofenac effectively reduces the levels of prostaglandins, which cause pain and inflammation in your body.

• Decreases cytokines: Aceclofenac also reduces levels of cytokine proteins in osteoarthritic joint cartilage. These proteins can cause inflammation and damage to tissues.

• Keep your Safenac 100 MG Tablet 10 in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Ensure the tablet is kept out of the reach of children.

• Use the medicine on the pack before the expiration date.

• If you have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis, a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fish and flaxseeds can help manage inflammation.

• Regular gentle exercise such as swimming or walking can improve joint flexibility and reduce stiffness.
