Avonac SR 100mg Tablet 10s (strip)

Avonac SR 100mg Tablet is a sustained-release formulation belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, with Aceclofenac as its active ingredient — a well-established compound widely used in pain and inflammation management. The "SR" in its name means the medicine is slowly released into your body over time, which helps maintain a steadier effect compared to regular tablets. Like most medicines in this category, it's important to know that some people may experience side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, or headache while taking this tablet. Before you start, it's always a good idea to let your doctor or pharmacist know about any other medicines you're currently taking or any health conditions you have — especially if you have a history of stomach problems or kidney concerns. We want you to feel confident and informed, so you can use this medicine safely and effectively.

How to Take Avonac SR 100mg Tablet
Avonac SR 100mg Tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water — do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can interfere with its sustained-release mechanism and may increase the risk of side effects. It is generally recommended to take this tablet with or after food to help reduce the chance of stomach irritation. Always follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist, and do not take more than the prescribed amount.

Dosage of Avonac SR 100mg Tablet
The commonly recommended dose of Avonac SR 100mg is one tablet taken once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate dosage and duration based on your individual condition, age, and overall health status — so always follow their specific guidance rather than self-adjusting your dose
