Gudgesic-Plus Tablet is taken orally.

Gudgesic-Plus Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Aceclofenac (100 mg): This NSAID works by selectively inhibiting an enzyme in your body called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). COX-2 is responsible for producing prostaglandins - substances that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, aceclofenac helps manage these symptoms.

• Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (325 mg): This is an analgesic and antipyretic agent which means it helps manage pain and reduce fever. While it's not entirely clear how paracetamol works, it is thought to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system and modulate pain and fever signalling pathways. It also has weak anti-inflammatory effects.

The combination of aceclofenac and paracetamol in Gudgesic-Plus Tablet provides enhanced relief from pain and inflammation compared to either component taken alone.

• Keep your Gudgesic-Plus Tablet stored at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure it's stored out of reach of children for safety.

• Always check the expiry date on the package and use the medicine before this date.

• If you're managing musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis with Gudgesic-Plus Tablet, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds) which may help reduce inflammation.

• Regular low-impact exercise such as swimming or walking can also be beneficial for these conditions, as it helps strengthen your joints and muscles without causing further damage or pain.
