What is Raceclo Capsule used for?

Raceclo Capsule is primarily used to reduce and relieve pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. This includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, back pain, muscle pain, toothache, and pain in the ear and throat. It may also be prescribed for post-traumatic and post-operative pain. The rabeprazole component helps prevent gastrointestinal discomfort and ulcers that can be caused by the pain-relieving ingredient.

How does Raceclo Capsule work?

Raceclo Capsule contains two active ingredients: Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers, called prostaglandins, in the body that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach, thereby preventing damage, irritation, and ulcers to the stomach lining that can be caused by Aceclofenac.

What is the usual dosage of Raceclo Capsule?

The dosage of Raceclo Capsule is determined by your doctor based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. It is generally advised to take the capsule whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not chew, crush, or break the capsule. You should follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and duration and not exceed the prescribed amount.

What are the possible side effects of Raceclo Capsule?

Common side effects may include indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If any of these persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor. Less common but more serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions, bruising or bleeding, and severe skin rashes.

Is Raceclo Capsule safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Raceclo Capsule is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, especially in the last three months, as it may cause adverse effects in the developing baby. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, consult your doctor. It may also be excreted in breast milk, so it's advisable to avoid breastfeeding or seek medical advice before use to ensure infant safety.

Can Raceclo Capsule be taken with other medications?

It's crucial to inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Raceclo Capsule can interact with other NSAIDs (like aspirin or ibuprofen), blood thinners (anticoagulants such as warfarin, antiplatelets like clopidogrel), methotrexate, lithium, digoxin, mifepristone, and certain antibiotics or antifungals. Taking it with other painkillers or NSAIDs can increase the risk of gastrointestinal issues.

What precautions should be taken while using Raceclo Capsule?

Before taking Raceclo Capsule, inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, heart conditions (like heart attack, heart failure, high blood pressure), kidney disease, liver disease, asthma, diabetes, or any allergic reactions to similar medications. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medicine as it can increase drowsiness and raise the risk of stomach bleeding. Due to potential dizziness or drowsiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Prolonged use of rabeprazole may lead to brittle bones, and your doctor might recommend Vitamin D and calcium supplements.

What happens if a dose of Raceclo Capsule is missed?

If you miss a dose of Raceclo Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

How should Raceclo Capsule be stored?

Raceclo Capsule should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature below 30°C. Keep it protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the medicine is kept out of the sight and reach of children and pets. Always check the expiry date and do not use the medicine past this date.
