Aclofix-S Tablets (Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase)
Aclofix-S is a powerful combination medication used for the effective management of pain, inflammation, and swelling. It contains two active ingredients: Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Serratiopeptidase, a proteolytic enzyme that helps accelerate healing by breaking down inflammatory proteins at the site of injury.
In Nigeria, Aclofix-S is commonly used to provide fast relief from discomfort associated with joint issues, injuries, and post-operative recovery.

Aclofix-S is typically prescribed for:
- Arthritis Relief: Managing symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
