Aclofix-S Tablets (Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase)
Aclofix-S is a combination medicine used to treat pain, swelling, and inflammation. It contains Aceclofenac (an NSAID) and Serratiopeptidase (a healing enzyme).
In Nigeria, it is commonly used for fast relief of body pain associated with joint issues, dental pain, and sports injuries.
What Aclofix-S is used for
Aclofix-S is typically prescribed for:
- Arthritis management: Relief from symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

How it works
The two active ingredients work together to provide relief:
- Aceclofenac (100mg): Reduces the production of chemicals that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
