CYTONAC TAB

Overview

CYTONAC TAB is a Schedule X drug.

CYTONAC TAB is composed of: ACECLOFENAC (100.0 MG), MISOPROSTOL (100.0 MCG)

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic properties. Aceclofenac potently inhibits the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme (COX) that is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory mediators that cause pain, swelling, inflammation, and fever.  It is orally administered for the relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Misoprostol increases contractions of the uterus to cause abortion. It can also prevent post-delivery bleeding due to poor contraction of the uterus. Misoprostol is used in medical abortion and post-delivery bleeding. Misoprostol reduces stomach acid and helps protect the stomach from damage that can be caused by taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others. Misoprostol is used to prevent stomach ulcers during treatment with aspirin or an NSAID.
