Cekotek P Oral Suspension is used to reduce pain and inflammation. The pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Inflammation is a localized physical condition in which part of the body becomes reddened, swollen, hot and often painful, especially as a reaction to injury or infection.

Cekotek P Oral Suspension is composed of two medicines: Aceclofenac (pain reducer) and Paracetamol (fever reducer). Cekotek P Oral Suspension helps in relieving pain from conditions like headaches, mild migraine, muscle pain, dental pain, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol both work by blocking the chemical messengers responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever.

Cekotek P Oral Suspension may cause side effects like dizziness, nausea (feeling sick), digestion problems (constipation, flatulence, diarrhoea) and skin reactions (like rashes and hives). Most of the side effects of Cekotek P Oral Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Taking more than the daily prescribed dose of Cekotek P Oral Suspension may cause liver damage or allergic reactions like swelling of the mouth, face, throat, difficulty in breathing, skin rash, itching, gastrointestinal bleeding and/or ulcer.

• In chronic arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that have a minimum level of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min).
