Zix-R OD Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines: Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole, which relieves pain. 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.

Take it as per the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Long term use may lead to serious side effects. It may cause dizziness and sleepiness. Don't drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how Zix-R OD Capsule SR affects you. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding. Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney function, liver function and levels of blood components if you are taking this medicine for long duration.
