Properties

Aceclofenac is an NSAID that also has antipyretic and analgesic effects. The drug suppresses the development of edema and erythema, regardless of the etiology of inflammation. Aceclofenac inhibits the formation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes due to reversible inhibition of COX.

Clinical efficacy and safety: The established clinical efficacy of the drug is complemented by good tolerability.

— to reduce inflammation of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints in cases of sprains, strains and bruises;
