Bakwel Ap Strip Of 10 Tablets

Bakwel Ap Tablet is a pharmaceutical formulation combining aceclofenac, paracetamol, and thiocolchicoside. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, primarily through central mechanisms to alleviate pain and lower fever.

Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant, indicated for symptomatic treatment of painful muscle spasms. This combination medication is utilized for the relief of pain associated with various conditions, including arthritis, headaches, muscle spasms, menstrual pain, and dental pain. It is contraindicated for use in pregnant women due to potential adverse effects on the fetus.
