How it Works

Bextrin Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Aceclofenac and Beta-Cyclodextrin which relieve pain. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Beta-Cyclodextrin enhances the effect of Aceclofenac.
