Algesia CR Capsule is taken orally.

Algesia CR Capsule is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients:

• Aceclofenac (200 mg): This is an NSAID that blocks cyclooxygenase enzymes in your body. These enzymes are responsible for producing substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, aceclofenac effectively manages these symptoms.

• Rabeprazole (20 mg): This is a proton pump inhibitor that works by reducing acid production in the stomach. It does so by blocking a system known as the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system at the gastric parietal cells' secretory surface. This action protects your stomach lining from damage caused by the acidic environment resulting from NSAID use.

Together, these two components provide sustained and effective relief from pain and inflammation while protecting your stomach lining.

• Store Algesia CR Capsule below 25°C in a cool, dry place.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep the medicine out of the reach of children for safety.

• Use the capsule before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• If you're managing osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis with Algesia CR Capsule, consider a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fish and flaxseeds; they might help reduce inflammation.

• Regular low-impact exercise such as swimming or walking can help improve joint flexibility and reduce pain.
