Introduction
Rightace is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase. It is available in tablet form and is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals.
Uses
Rightace is primarily used to provide relief from pain and inflammation in various conditions, such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, and musculoskeletal disorders. It is also prescribed in cases of post-operative pain and swelling.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Rightace may vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual patient factors. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dosage for adults is one tablet, taken orally, once or twice a day with a glass of water. It is advisable to take the medication after meals to minimize the risk of stomach upset.
Mechanism of Action
Aceclofenac, one of the active ingredients in Rightace, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, providing relief from pain and reducing fever. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme that helps in reducing inflammation by breaking down certain proteins.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, and headache. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.
In rare cases, Rightace may cause serious side effects such as allergic reactions, severe skin rashes, liver problems, or gastrointestinal bleeding. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., difficulty breathing, rash, swelling), severe skin reactions, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or persistent stomach pain, seek immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions
inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as any herbal supplements. Rightace may interact with certain medications, such as anticoagulants (blood thinners), other NSAIDs, and certain antidepressants. These interactions may increase the risk of side effects or reduce the effectiveness of the medications. Your healthcare professional can provide guidance on potential drug interactions.
Precautions
Before taking Rightace, inform your healthcare professional about any known allergies or sensitivities to Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, Serratiopeptidase, or any other medications. Additionally, let your healthcare professional know about any existing medical conditions, such as liver or kidney problems, asthma, or gastrointestinal disorders.
Rightace should not be taken by individuals with a history of allergic reactions to any of its active ingredients, or those with a history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic reactions to NSAIDs. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Storage
Rightace should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication after the expiration date mentioned on the packaging.
