Etomust-R Capsule 10's is used to reduce and relieve pain and inflammation (swelling) associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It may also be indicated in the treatment of pain associated with post-traumatic and post-operative cases. It contains Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole, which works by reducing the production of prostaglandins (chemicals) that cause pain and inflammation. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Aceclofenac has been reported to cause gastric discomfort and acidity. Hence, it is combined with Rabeprazole, which reduces the amount of acid the stomach makes, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, it helps reduce pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Aceclofenac alone. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as indigestion, stomach pain, constipation, dizziness, nausea and diarrhoea.

About Etomust-R Capsule 10's

Etomust-R Capsule 10's is used to reduce and relieve pain and inflammation (swelling) associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Etomust-R Capsule 10's may also be indicated in the treatment of pain associated with post-traumatic and post-operative cases.

Etomust-R Capsule 10's combines two drugs: Aceclofenac (painkiller) and Rabeprazole (antacid). Aceclofenac works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Aceclofenac has been reported to cause gastric discomfort and acidity. Hence, it is combined with Rabeprazole, a medicine belonging to a group of proton pump inhibitors that reduce the amount of acid the stomach makes, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, the combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused by Aceclofenac alone.

Take Etomust-R Capsule 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Etomust-R Capsule 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience indigestion, stomach pain, constipation, dizziness, nausea and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Etomust-R Capsule 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Before taking the Etomust-R Capsule 10's, let your doctor know about all your allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to medicines or food. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, or heart disease. Etomust-R Capsule 10's may cause dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery unless you are alert. Etomust-R Capsule 10's is not recommended for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in children. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Etomust-R Capsule 10's as it could lead to increased dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Uses of Etomust-R Capsule 10's

Treatment of Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis.

Medicinal Benefits

Etomust-R Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs: Aceclofenac (painkiller) and Rabeprazole (antacid). Aceclofenac belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (pain killers) that block the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). Prostaglandins play an important role in controlling pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer PGs are produced. Thereby, it helps relieve pain and swelling associated with different types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (pain and stiffness in the backbone). On the other hand, Rabeprazole belongs to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that help reduce the excess amount of stomach acid and bile produced. Aceclofenac has been reported to cause gastric discomfort and acidity. Hence, it is combined with Rabeprazole, a medicine that reduces the amount of acid made by the stomach, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, the combination is superior as it helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused by Aceclofenac alone. Etomust-R Capsule 10's is also used to relieve toothache and lower back, ear, and throat pain.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you are to get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include past injuries such as torn cartilage and dislocated joints and ligaments. 

Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformities and loss of joint function. 

Ankylosing spondylitis: Ankylosing spondylitis causes pain and stiffness in the spine. The pain usually starts in the lower back and can spread to the neck, damaged joints or other parts of the body. Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include decreased flexibility, which usually leads to a hunched-forward posture and pain in the back and joints.
