Description of Emflex

Acemetacin is the generic name of Emflex, and it belongs to the therapeutic category of NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. You can buy Emflex in the form of oral gelatin capsules. Each capsule contains 60mg of Acemetacin, in addition to other ingredients including lactose, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, sodium dodecylsulphate and talc.

Indications & Dosage of Emflex

Emflex is used for treating lower back pain, reducing inflammation and pain after a surgical procedure or for reducing inflammation and pain due to conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The medicine blocks the actions of cyclo-oxygenase, a substance in human body which is necessary for the production of prostaglandins. These are chemicals that respond to an injury or disease, leading to pain, inflammation and swelling. By blocking the production of prostaglandins, the medicine helps reduce pain and inflammation due to certain conditions.

The treatment starts with Emflex 120mg per day, divided into 2 doses. Depending on your medical condition and response to the drug, it can be increased to Emflex 180mg per day.

Your doctor will advise you to take Emflex capsules with food, antacids or milk in order to reduce gastrointestinal disturbances.

Also do not buy Emflex with beta blockers, corticosteroids or other NSAIDs, as they may increase your risks of developing serious side effects of the drug.
