Aldigesic Injection is given by a doctor or a nurse. You should not self-administer this at home. The dose will depend on what you are taking it for and how well it helps your symptoms. You should take it as advised by your doctor. Do not take more or use it for a longer duration than recommended by the doctor.
Aldigesic Injection is a combination medicine that helps in relieving muscular pain. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. This improves the movement of muscles and provides relief from pain and discomfort.
Aceclofenac (AC), a phenyl acetic acid derivative, ({[2-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenyl]acetyl}oxy)acetic acid, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the symptomatic treatment of pain and inflammation with a reduced side effect profile, especially gastrointestinal events that are frequently.
It distributes rapidly and evenly throughout most tissues and fluids and has a volume of distribution of approximately 0.9L/kg. 10 to 20% of the drug is bound to red blood cells. Paracetamol is extensively metabolised (predominantly in the liver), the major metabolites being the sulphate and glucuronide conjugates.
Analysis of plasma samples indicated a rapid absorption and rapid elimination of chlorzoxazone. Average values of the elimination half-life and plasma clearance were 1.12 +/- 0.48 hr and 148.0 +/- 39.9 ml/min, respectively.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
