Wellstif Tablet

Introduction

Wellstif is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Tizanidine. It is commonly used to provide relief from pain and inflammation associated with various conditions.

Uses

Wellstif is prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and postoperative pain. It is also used to reduce inflammation and swelling associated with conditions like arthritis or injury.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Wellstif may vary depending on the severity of the pain and the individual patient’s response. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dose for adults is one tablet taken orally, two to three times daily, preferably with food.

Mechanism of Action

Aceclofenac, one of the active ingredients in Wellstif, works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that are responsible for pain and inflammation. Paracetamol acts as a pain reliever and fever reducer, while Tizanidine helps to relax muscles and reduce muscle spasms.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.

Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, stomach bleeding, liver damage, and signs of kidney problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious side effects.

Drug Interactions

Wellstif may interact with certain medications, including but not limited to:

• Blood thinners (such as warfarin) – may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Antidepressants (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) – may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
• Muscle relaxants or sedatives – may increase the sedative effect of Wellstif.

Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products, to avoid potential drug interactions.

Precautions

Before taking Wellstif, inform your healthcare professional about any allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are currently taking. This medication should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, liver or kidney problems, or cardiovascular diseases.

Wellstif is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of its active ingredients or those who have a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
