Ceflonac-SP Tablets: Triple Action Relief for Pain and Inflammation
Ceflonac-SP is a combination medication used in Nigeria for managing various types of pain and inflammatory conditions. It is frequently recommended for relief from musculoskeletal disorders like arthritis, as well as for managing discomfort from dental issues or following minor procedures.
What is Ceflonac-SP Used For?
This medication is formulated to help manage:
- Joint and Muscle Pain: Provides relief from the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.
- Inflammation and Swelling: Helps reduce tissue swelling (edema) after injuries or dental work.
- Dental Relief: Often used to manage toothaches and gum inflammation.
- General Pain Management: Effective for backaches and other body pains.
How It Works
Ceflonac-SP utilizes a "triple action" approach to pain management:
- Aceclofenac (100mg): An NSAID that targets the source of pain and inflammation.
- Paracetamol (500mg): A well-known analgesic that helps reduce pain and fever.
- Serratiopeptidase (15mg): An enzyme that aids in breaking down abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation to reduce swelling.
Ceflonac-SP Dosage for Adults
For safe and effective use, always follow the guidance of your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist:
- Standard Dose: Typically one tablet twice daily.
- Administration: Should be taken after food to minimize the risk of stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Side Effects and Safety Precautions
While generally effective, some users may experience side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or indigestion.
Important for Ulcer Patients: Since it contains Aceclofenac, Ceflonac-SP may cause stomach irritation. If you have a history of stomach ulcers (often referred to locally as "ulcer"), please consult a healthcare professional or a GoMed pharmacist before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep out of reach of children.
