It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to aceclofenac or to any of the inactive ingredients. Aceclofenac should not be administered to patients who are hypersensitive to diclofenac. Severe and sometimes fatal anaphylactic- like reactions have been reported in patients on NSAIDs. As with other NSAIDs, aceclofenac is contraindicated in patients who have experienced bronchospasm, urticaria or acute rhinitis while taking acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs, because of the risk of severe allergic-type reactions. Aceclofenac should not be used in patients with porphyria or active peptic ulcer. This product is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.

The following adverse events were reported frequently in some patients: dyspepsia, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea, flatulence, dizziness, headache, pruritus, rash, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and increased BUN and hepatic enzymes. Precautions Gastrointestinal Effects; Fluid Retention and Edema; Renal Impairment; Hepatic Insufficiency; Children; Elderly; (for more information see package insert leaflet)

Dosage and Administration

The usual dose is 100 mg every 12 hours. The dosage regimen should be individualized according to the indication and other clinical variables.

Hepatic Insufficiency: Patients with mild hepatic impairment should receive an initial daily dose of 50 mg every 12 hours.
