Introduction
Deltanac-RB SR contains the active ingredients Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole. It is used to manage pain and inflammation, as well as to prevent stomach ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Uses
Deltanac-RB SR is prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Additionally, it helps in preventing ulcers in the stomach and intestines caused by prolonged NSAID use.
Dosage and Administration
The general dosage of Deltanac-RB SR is determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient’s specific condition and medical history. Typically, it is taken once daily, preferably before meals. The capsule should be swallowed whole with water, without crushing or chewing.

Aceclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, reduces the production of stomach acid, thereby aiding in the prevention of ulcers.
