Synac R Tablet

Synac R Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called analgesics (pain relievers) used to reduce pain and swelling in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis (pain and stiffness in the backbone). Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time. The symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, stiffness, redness, tenderness, swelling in and around joints, and reduced movement of joints.

Synac R Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Aceclofenac (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic), and Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor).  Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work by inhibiting the production of certain chemical substances such as prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, it helps in relieving pain and swelling associated with different types of arthritis. Rabeprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, it reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe.
