Oraprein-A 100mg/50mg Tablet

Oraprein-A 100mg/50mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to reduce and relieve pain, redness and inflammation (swelling) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Osteoarthritis is a disease characterized by the degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint, as well as bony overgrowth. Ankylosing spondylitis is a rare type of arthritis that causes pain and stiffness in your spine. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks its own cells and causes damage, thereby causing joint pain with inflammation.

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Diacerine works by blocking the actions of a certain specific protein that causes swelling, pain, and degradation of cartilage at bone joints.

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the breakdown of a cartilage protective covering causes the two ends of the joints to come together. The lack of this protective covering causes the joints to rub against one another, causing discomfort and stiffness. Osteoarthritis signs and symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling, and tenderness. Age is the primary cause of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, also referred to as a degenerative disease because it causes the joints to wear out as a person ages, is more likely to develop as you get older. Past injuries like torn ligaments, dislocated joints, and torn cartilage are additional causes.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Joint pain and damage are caused by an auto-immune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks its own tissue. Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, deformities, and loss of joint function.

Ankylosing spondylitis: The spine becomes painful and stiff as a result. The lower back is where the pain typically first appears, but it can also affect the neck, damaged joints, or other areas of the body. Reduced flexibility, which typically causes a hunched-forward posture, and pain in the back and joints are all signs of ankylosing spondylitis.
