Fast-Acting Pain and Inflammation Relief
Cetafenac 500mg/50mg is a powerful fixed-dose combination medication specifically formulated to manage moderate to severe pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. Each tablet contains a synergistic blend of two active ingredients: Paracetamol (500mg) and Diclofenac Potassium (50mg).
While Paracetamol works effectively to reduce pain and fever, Diclofenac Potassium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its rapid absorption and ability to target the source of inflammation.
What is Cetafenac Used For?
Cetafenac is widely used in Nigeria for the management of various conditions, including:
- Arthritis & Gout: Relief from joint pain and swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
- Dental Pain: Effective for toothaches and post-surgical dental procedures.
- Musculoskeletal Injuries: Rapid relief for backaches, sprains, strains, and sports injuries.
