How it works
Aldigesic-Rab Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines: Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Rabeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor which prevents damage to the stomach lining caused by Aceclofenac.

Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney function, liver function and levels of blood components if you are taking this medicine for long duration.
