BACKGROUND/AIMS Acute pancreatitis is a common complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Combination therapy w ith ora l udenafil and aceclofenac may reduce the occurrence of post-ERCP pancreatitis by targeting different pathophysiological mechanisms. We investigated whether combining udenafil and aceclofenac reduced the rates of post-ERCP pancreatitis. METHODS A ...

1. Since nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may impair the ability of the chondrocyte to repair its damaged extracellular matrix, we explored the changes in the metabolism of newly synthesized proteoglycan and hyaluronan (HA) molecules produced by aceclofenac, diclofenac and meloxicam in human osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage. 2. Explants were sampled from the medial femoral condyle and...

As mentioned in the letter, the nature of back pain and the information of the medications given to the patient should be clarified. The patient had lower back pain developed after exercise, which seemed as musculoskeletal pain. Aceclofenac 100 mg was prescribed to be taken twice a day as usual dose. Two days before admission to our hospital, the patient took the first aceclofenac 100 mg in the...

Aceclofenac is a new generation non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug showing effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is available in the form of tablets of 100 mg. Importance of aceclofenac as a NSAID has inspired development of topical dosage forms. This mode of administration may help avoid typical side effects associated with oral administration of NSAIDs, which have led to ...

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. It is practically insoluble in water. The effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. The enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...

Two simple spectrophotometric methods have been developed for simultaneous estimation of drotaverine hydrochloride and aceclofenac from tablet dosage form. Method I is a simultaneous equation method (Vierodt's method), wavelengths selected are 306.5 and 276 nm. Method II is the absorbance ratio method (Q-Analysis), which employs 298.5 nm as λ(1) and 276 nm as λ(2) (λmax of AF) for formation of ...

Piperine, an amide alkaloid of black pepper, was investigated for transdermal enhancer activity using human cadaver skin in vitro with aceclofenac as the model drug. Furthermore, FT-IR studies were conducted to understand to possible enhancement mechanism. Piperine, at all three concentrations tested, significantly increased flux of the drug compared to control (p<0.05). Similarly permeability ...

Objective: The major objective of this study was to prepare and evaluate OnceDaily Sustained Release Matrix Pellets Formulation of Aceclofenac by using Extrusion-Spheronization technique. Methods: The sustained release matrix pellets of Aceclofenac were prepared by industrially applied extrusion spheronization technique. The different formulations were prepared using HPMC K100M LVCR as hydrophi...

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method is developed and validated for the simultaneous evaluation of aceclofenac and its related impurities in tablet dosage form. The chromatographic separation achieved on a C18 Inertsil reversed-phase column using an isocratic elution, being mobile phase acetonitrile: methanol: water (60:28:12) and pH of final mobile phase was adjusted...

phenylacetoxyacetic acid], a novel NSAID indicated for the symptomatic treatment of pain and inflammation (1). The short biological half-life (about 4 h) and high frequency of dosing make aceclofenac an ideal candidate for sustained release. The bioadhesive microspheres of aceclofenac would prolong the residence time at the absorption site to facilitate intimate contact with the absorption surf...
