Bristaflam 100 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Bristaflam 100 mg 20 tablets is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) containing aceclofenac. It is used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal and joint disorders, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid conditions, and acute painful episodes such as low back pain and post-traumatic pain. Bristaflam works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing inflammation, swelling, and pain. It is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Ankylosing spondylitis – to relieve pain, stiffness, and inflammation of the spine and large joints.
• Osteoarthritis – symptomatic treatment of joint pain, tenderness, and reduced mobility due to degenerative joint disease.
• Symptomatic treatment of pain and inflammation in post-traumatic pain (e.g., sprains, strains, soft tissue injuries) as directed by a physician.
• Cervical pain (neck pain) associated with inflammation or musculoskeletal strain.
• Low back pain (lumbago) of inflammatory or mechanical origin.
• Acute gout – short-term management of pain and inflammation during acute gouty attacks, as prescribed.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Aceclofenac – 100 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Other excipients (tablet core and coating) – exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; refer to the official package insert for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual adult dose (typical clinical practice): 100 mg aceclofenac taken twice daily (total 200 mg/day), or as directed by the prescribing physician. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
• Route of administration: Oral. Swallow the film-coated tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew.
• Administration with food: It is generally recommended to take Bristaflam with or after food to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset or irritation.
• Duration of use: Use for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms. Long-term use should only be under close medical supervision.
• Special populations: Dose adjustments or additional monitoring may be required in elderly patients or those with mild renal or hepatic impairment; follow your doctor’s instructions strictly.
• If a dose is missed: Take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from inflammatory pain associated with osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other rheumatic conditions.
• Reduces swelling, stiffness, and joint tenderness, helping improve mobility and daily function.
• Offers targeted symptomatic relief in acute painful conditions such as low back pain, cervical pain, and post-traumatic musculoskeletal pain.
• Helps control pain and inflammation during acute gout attacks when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan prescribed by a doctor.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to aceclofenac or any of the excipients.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., asthma, rhinitis, urticaria) to other nsaids, including aspirin.
• Do not use in patients with active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or a history of recurrent peptic ulcer/gi bleeding.
• Contraindicated in patients with bleeding from the stomach or intestines.
• Contraindicated in patients with moderate to severely decreased kidney function, unless specifically assessed and monitored by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease), cardiovascular disease, hypertension, liver impairment, or renal impairment.
• Aceclofenac may increase plasma concentrations of lithium, digoxin, and methotrexate; concomitant use requires careful monitoring and possible dose adjustment.
• Activity of anticoagulants may be increased; close monitoring of coagulation parameters is required when used with warfarin or similar agents.
• Aceclofenac may inhibit the activity of diuretics; when used with potassium-sparing diuretics, serum potassium should be monitored due to risk of hyperkalemia.
• May enhance cyclosporin nephrotoxicity; renal function should be closely monitored if used together.
• May precipitate convulsions when co-administered with quinolone antibiotics; use with caution in patients at risk of seizures.
• Use in pregnancy: nsaids are generally not recommended, especially in the third trimester; use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.
• Use in breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use; risk–benefit assessment is required.
• May cause dizziness, fatigue, or visual disturbances; if affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, hypertension, bleeding disorders, or gastrointestinal problems.
