Airtal ER 200mg Tablet

Airtal ER Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains Aceclofenac (Extended Release), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly prescribed to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. The extended-release (ER) formulation is designed to release the medicine gradually, providing longer-lasting pain relief and allowing for less frequent dosing as directed by a physician.

Airtal ER is widely used for patients suffering from chronic joint and muscle pain, helping improve mobility and reduce discomfort caused by inflammatory conditions.
