It provides symptomatic relief by targeting inflammation and reducing pain perception. This medication is valuable for managing acute pain episodes and improving comfort, facilitating quicker recovery and enhanced daily functioning for individuals experiencing these common painful conditions.

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

• Rabeprazole  : Rabeprazole inhibits the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) in the stomach's parietal cells. This action blocks the final step of gastric acid production, thereby reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This helps in treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers by lowering gastric acidity and promoting healing of the stomach and esophageal lining.

• Aceclofenac  Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that mediate pain, inflammation, and fever. By inhibiting COX, Aceclofenac reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby alleviating pain and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.
