Aceclofenac Gel

Aclofenac gel is an over-the-counter topical medication for the relief of pain and inflammation caused by arthritis. The gel contains the active ingredient aceclofenac, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Aceclofenac is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is an enzyme involved in the production of prostaglandins. The prostaglandins are substances that contribute to the inflammatory response. Aceclofenac is available in a number of formulations, including creams, gels, ointments, and sprays.
