Adult dose

Take 100 mg of aceclofenac twice daily (every 12 hours). This medication should be taken whole and not chewed or crushed. Adjust the dosage according to symptoms. To minimize cardiovascular side effects, it should be administered at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration possible.

This medication may cause gastrointestinal bleeding in individuals who regularly consume more than three drinks a day, so it is essential to consult a physician or pharmacist. This medication may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, so patients with risk factors for heart or vascular diseases should use it cautiously. The risk of cardiovascular issues may increase depending on the duration and dosage, so the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration should be used, and symptoms should be regularly monitored. Due to the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforations, caution is particularly advised for those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases or the elderly, and immediate assessment and treatment are necessary if gastrointestinal symptoms arise. This medication should not be taken in the case of active peptic ulcers or bleeding, allergies to this medication or similar drugs, heart failure, severe kidney or liver dysfunction, or by women in late pregnancy. Patients with diminished kidney function, heart failure, hypertension, or a history of asthma should use this medication cautiously and be closely monitored during use. This medication may cause various side effects such as dizziness, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver function abnormalities, skin rashes, etc., so any unusual symptoms should be reported to a healthcare professional immediately. For long-term use of this medication, it is important to regularly undergo blood tests and liver/kidney function tests. During pregnancy, particularly in late stages, it should not be taken as it may affect the fetus; nursing women should also avoid taking this medication or discontinue breastfeeding. There is a possibility of interactions with other medications, so especially those taking anticoagulants, diuretics, or antidiabetic drugs should consult a physician. Safety and efficacy in children and adolescents have not been established, so it is advisable not to use it in this population. Elderly patients are at a higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, so special caution is required during use.
