Aceclofenac 100 mg Tablets are indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Aceclofenac tablets are supplied for oral administration and should be swallowed whole with a sufficient quantity of liquid. Aceclofenac should be taken preferably with or after food.

Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see section 4.4).

Adults

The recommended dose is 200 mg daily, taken as two separate 100 mg doses, one tablet in the morning and one in the evening.

Children :- There are no clinical data on the use of Aceclofenac in children and therefore it is not recommended for use in children.

Elderly :- The pharmacokinetics of Aceclofenac are not altered in elderly patients, therefore it is not considered necessary to modify the dose or dose frequency.

As with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), caution should be exercised in the treatment of elderly patients, who are at increased risk of the serious consequences of adverse reactions, and who are more likely to be suffering from impaired renal, cardiovascular or hepatic function and receiving concomitant medication. The elderly should be monitored regularly for GI bleeding during NSAID therapy.
