How Does It Work?

• Aceclofenac helps reduce pain and swelling by blocking some chemicals in your body that cause inflammation and discomfort. This makes it easier for you to feel less pain and move more comfortably.
• Diacerein works by reducing certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and cartilage breakdown, especially in joints affected by osteoarthritis. It helps protect the cartilage and slows down the damage, which can relieve pain and improve joint movement over time.

Interactions with other medicines

• Be careful if you are taking water pills (like loop or thiazide diuretics) or heart medicines such as digoxin or digitoxin at the same time, because it may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems.
• Avoid using Aceclofenac+Diacerein with other NSAIDs, aspirin, steroids, blood thinners, or certain antidepressants to reduce the risk of stomach bleeding.
• Aceclofenac+Diacerein may reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure medications and diuretics; therefore, it is essential to monitor kidney function and drug levels.
• Combining with medicines such as digoxin or lithium, methotrexate, certain antibiotics, HIV medications, or diabetes/organ transplant drugs requires close medical supervision due to increased side effects or risks.
• Do not take Aceclofenac+Diacerein within 8–12 days after mifepristone use.
