Finding Sources
Acefexo M is a combination tablet containing:
- Aceclofenac 100 mg — a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis to relieve pain and inflammation.
- Metaxalone 400 mg — a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that reduces muscle spasm (exact mechanism not fully established; thought to act via CNS depression).
Uses
Acefexo M is indicated for:
- Musculoskeletal pain — backache, neck pain, shoulder pain
- Acute muscle spasms — associated with sprains, strains, or injuries
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis — with a significant muscle spasm component
- Post-traumatic or post-surgical pain with muscle tightness
- Spondylitis and other painful inflammatory joint/spine conditions
Key Points
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Drug class | NSAID + Muscle relaxant |
| Route | Oral |
| Typical dose | 1 tablet twice daily, after food |
| Avoid in | Peptic ulcer disease, renal/hepatic impairment, pregnancy, known NSAID hypersensitivity |
The combination targets both the inflammatory pain (aceclofenac) and the reflex muscle spasm (metaxalone) that often co-exist in musculoskeletal conditions, making it more effective than either agent alone for that indication.
