Description

Airtal ER 200mg tablet contains Aceclofenac, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is primarily used for the management of conditions involving pain and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), rheumatoid arthritis (inflammation of the joints), and ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory disease affecting the spine). Airtal ER works by blocking the enzyme that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints, providing relief to individuals suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions.

Functions

Airtal ER 200mg functions by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX), which plays a key role in producing prostaglandins—chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation and pain. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, Aceclofenac helps to alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness, making it particularly effective in treating joint disorders. The extended-release formulation of Airtal ensures a prolonged effect, providing sustained pain relief throughout the day.

Precautions

Before using Airtal ER, consult with your doctor if you have a history of gastrointestinal problems, kidney or liver disease, or any heart conditions. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with stomach ulcers, kidney disease, or those who have an allergy to aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid taking more than recommended, as NSAIDs can cause serious side effects when overused.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Airtal ER include stomach upset, dizziness, and increased liver enzymes. Some individuals may also experience pruritus (itchy skin). Although these side effects are usually mild, they should be monitored. In rare cases, more severe side effects like gastrointestinal bleeding or liver damage may occur. If any of these side effects worsen or persist, seek medical attention immediately.

Cautions

Airtal ER should be used with caution in individuals who have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or kidney and liver disorders. It is important to take this medication with food or water to minimize the risk of stomach irritation. Pregnant and lactating women must consult their doctor before using this medicine to ensure it is safe for them. Always store Airtal ER at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children.
