How it works
Acaflam DR 80mg/100mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Drotaverine and Aceclofenac, which relieves abdominal pain and cramps.

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).
