Mechanism of Action

Actibull contains two active ingredients: Aceclofenac and Paracetamol.

• Aceclofenac belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
• Paracetamol, on the other hand, is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the brain that signal pain and increase body temperature.

The combination of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol in Actibull provides a dual action approach to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever.

Side Effects

These side effects can vary in severity and may include:

• Common side effects: These may include nausea, upset stomach, dizziness, and headache. These side effects are generally mild and tend to resolve on their own.
• Serious side effects: Although rare, serious side effects can occur. These may include severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, severe stomach pain, or signs of liver problems (such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or persistent nausea).

If you experience any of these serious side effects or any other unusual symptoms while taking Actibull, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Actibull may interact with other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid any potential interactions. Some common and serious drug interactions include:

• Other NSAIDs: Taking Actibull along with other NSAIDs may increase the risk of side effects, such as stomach ulcers or bleeding.
• Blood thinners: The combination of Actibull with blood thinners may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Certain medications for high blood pressure: Actibull may reduce the effectiveness of certain medications used to treat high blood pressure.

Always consult your healthcare professional for guidance on potential drug interactions before starting or stopping any medication.

Precautions

Before taking Actibull, consider the following precautions:

• Contraindications: Actibull should not be used in individuals who have a known allergy to Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, or any other ingredients in the suspension.
• Liver or kidney problems: Individuals with pre-existing liver or kidney problems should exercise caution while using Actibull, as it may affect these organs.
