CELFAST TABLET – Overview

CELFAST TABLET is a combination medication containing Aceclofenac and Paracetamol, formulated to manage pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It also helps relieve pain from sprains, strains, tendon injuries, bone fractures, sports-related injuries, and minor surgical procedures.

How CELFAST TABLET Works

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX), which are responsible for producing pain-inducing chemicals (prostaglandins).
Paracetamol works on the brain’s pain and temperature centers to reduce the perception of pain and control fever. Together, these ingredients provide effective pain relief and reduce inflammation.
