Managing the Side Effects:

Relonac 100/20 MG Capsule 10 comprises two active ingredients:

Diclofenac (100 mg): This NSAID works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins - compounds in the body that cause inflammation and pain. By blocking their production, diclofenac effectively reduces inflammation, pain, and fever.
Rabeprazole (20 mg): As a proton pump inhibitor, rabeprazole reduces stomach acid production. It achieves this by blocking proton pumps in the stomach wall responsible for acid formation. This action aids in healing acid-related damage to the stomach and oesophagus and preventing the recurrence of peptic ulcers.
