Bextrin Total Capsule is a combination of five medicines: Aceclofenac, Beta-Cyclodextrin, Trypsin, Bromelain, and Rutoside which relieve pain. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Beta-Cyclodextrin enhances the effect of Aceclofenac. Trypsin and Bromelain are enzymes. They increase blood supply and make the body produce substances that fight pain and swelling. Rutoside is an antioxidant which protects the body from damage by chemicals (free radicals) and further reduces swelling.

Take it as per dose and duration suggested by your doctor Take it with plenty of fluids Take it an hour before or two hours after a meal It may increase the severity of your condition at the start of treatment.
