Description
ACEMEXA-P contains Aceclofenac 100 mg and Paracetamol 325 mg in tablet form. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation, while Paracetamol provides pain-relieving and fever-reducing effects. This combination may be prescribed for short-term management of painful inflammatory conditions when both medicines are considered appropriate.

Uses of ACEMEXA-P
ACEMEXA-P may be prescribed for the management of pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as:
- Joint and musculoskeletal pain
- Osteoarthritis-related pain and inflammation
- Rheumatoid arthritis-related pain and inflammation
- Ankylosing spondylitis-related symptoms
- Other painful inflammatory conditions where this combination is considered suitable
Aceclofenac is documented for the relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The exact use of ACEMEXA-P should depend on the patient’s condition and the healthcare professional’s prescription.
Key Benefits of ACEMEXA-P
- Dual-action pain management: Combines Aceclofenac and Paracetamol for complementary pain-relieving effects.
- Helps reduce inflammation: Aceclofenac works as an NSAID to reduce inflammatory processes.
- Supports pain relief: Paracetamol provides additional analgesic action.
- Useful for inflammatory pain: The combination may be selected when pain occurs alongside inflammation.
- Convenient tablet formulation: Provides two active ingredients in a single oral dosage form.
How ACEMEXA-P Works
Aceclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-related prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins contribute to pain, inflammation and swelling, so reducing their production can help relieve these symptoms.
Paracetamol acts primarily as an analgesic and antipyretic. It helps reduce pain and high temperature through mechanisms that differ from those of NSAIDs.
Together, the two ingredients provide complementary support for pain management.
Common Side Effects of ACEMEXA-P
Some people may experience:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Indigestion or stomach discomfort
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Dizziness or headache
- Heartburn
- Skin rash
NSAIDs such as aceclofenac can cause gastrointestinal irritation and, less commonly, ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding. Serious reactions are uncommon but require prompt medical attention.
Important Safety Information
Use ACEMEXA-P only as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Avoid taking additional paracetamol-containing medicines unless specifically advised, because excessive paracetamol can cause serious liver damage.
- Do not combine it with other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac unless your doctor specifically recommends this.
- Tell your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease or high blood pressure.
- NSAIDs can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration and cardiovascular complications, particularly with higher doses or prolonged treatment.
- Avoid or limit alcohol as advised, particularly because excessive alcohol intake can increase the risk of liver-related problems with paracetamol and may worsen NSAID-related stomach irritation.
- Inform your healthcare professional about anticoagulants, corticosteroids, blood-pressure medicines or other regular medicines before starting treatment.
- Seek medical attention if you develop black stools, vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, facial swelling or a severe skin reaction.
- If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before using this medicine. NSAIDs are generally not recommended during pregnancy without medical advice.
For additional information about NSAID precautions, refer to the NHS guidance on NSAIDs.
Dosage & Administration
Take ACEMEXA-P exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
The appropriate dose and treatment duration depend on the patient’s age, medical condition, other medicines and response to treatment. Do not increase the dose or continue treatment for longer than recommended.
Because ACEMEXA-P contains both an NSAID and Paracetamol, check other medicines carefully to avoid taking another NSAID or additional Paracetamol at the same time.

- Store at room temperature in a dry place.
- Keep the tablets in their original packaging until use.
