Rekin CT Tablet 10s

Rekin CT Tablet 10s is a combination medicine that contains aceclofenac, paracetamol, and trypsin–chymotrypsin. It is used for the short-term relief of pain, inflammation, and swelling in conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, joint disorders, dental pain, and pain or inflammation following injury or surgery.

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to decreased production of prostaglandins. Paracetamol works mainly in the central nervous system by increasing the pain threshold and reducing the perception of pain, and it also helps lower fever by acting on the brain’s temperature regulation center.

Trypsin-chymotrypsin is a combination of proteolytic enzymes that may help break down inflammatory proteins and debris at the site of injury. This action may assist in reducing local swelling and supporting the natural resolution of inflammation.

Rekin CT Tablet 10s is generally prescribed for short‑term use under medical supervision. The exact dose and duration depend on the patient’s condition, severity of symptoms, and overall health status. It should always be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, and patients should avoid alcohol and other NSAIDs while on this medicine to reduce the risk of side effects.

Rekin CT Tablet 10s may be indicated by your doctor for:

Post-Operative Inflammation

Reduction of pain and swelling following surgical procedures.

Traumatic Injuries

Management of edema and pain resulting from sprains, strains, or fractures.

Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Relief of acute exacerbations of joint pain and inflammation.

Surgical Wounds

Assisting in faster healing by reducing localized tissue swelling.

Dental Pain

Management of severe toothache and post-extraction inflammation.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Symptomatic relief of pain and stiffness in the spine.

Rekin CT Tablet 10s may provide benefits such as:

• Triple Action Relief: Simultaneously treats pain, reduces fever, and resolves swelling.

• Enhanced Healing: Proteolytic enzymes help clear inflammatory debris, potentially shortening recovery time.

• Improved Mobility: By rapidly reducing joint and muscle swelling, it helps patients regain movement sooner.

• Combined pain control: The combination of aceclofenac and paracetamol provides broader pain relief than using either medicine alone.

• Reduced Edema: Specifically targets the fluid buildup that causes pressure and throbbing pain at the site of injury.

Common side effects of Rekin CT Tablet 10s may include

• Nausea or indigestion

• Stomach pain or heartburn

• Dizziness

• Drowsiness

• Diarrhea

Uncommon side effects of Rekin CT Tablet 10s may include:

• Flatulence (gas)

• Skin rash or itching

• Loss of appetite

• Increased liver enzymes

Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention may include

• Severe allergic reactions (hives, swelling of the face, or difficulty breathing)

• Gastrointestinal bleeding (black, tarry stools or vomiting blood)

• Signs of liver toxicity (yellowing of eyes/skin, dark urine)

• Severe skin peeling or blistering (Stevens-Johnson syndrome)

• Persistent or severe abdominal pain

• Always consult your doctor if you notice any unusual signs while taking Rekin CT Tablet 10s.

• Take Rekin CT Tablet 10s exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and duration depend on your condition and response to treatment.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor advises otherwise.

• It is usually taken after food to reduce the chance of stomach upset.

• Take it at the same time each day if it has been prescribed regularly. This helps maintain a steady effect.

• Do not take more than the recommended dose, even if pain persists, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

• Avoid using other medicines containing paracetamol or NSAIDs at the same time unless your doctor tells you to.

• Use it only for the prescribed duration. Do not continue longer without medical advice.

Rekin CT Tablet 10s works through three distinct pathways:

• Aceclofenac blocks the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are the primary chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation at the site of injury.

• Paracetamol acts on the central nervous system to reduce the intensity of pain signals and inhibits the heat-regulating center in the brain to reduce fever.

• Trypsin and chymotrypsin enzymes break down proteins (proteolysis) involved in inflammation. They dissolve fibrin clots and reduce the thickness of fluids accumulated at the injury site, allowing the body to reabsorb them more efficiently and improving blood flow to promote healing.

• Together, these actions help provide relief from pain, reduce inflammation, and decrease swelling in affected tissues.

• Take the medicine with food or milk to protect your stomach lining.

• Avoid taking other medicines containing Paracetamol (like cold and flu remedies) to prevent accidental overdose.

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, or heart disease before starting treatment.

• If you are scheduled for surgery, tell your surgeon you are taking this medicine, as it may affect blood clotting.

• Limit the use of this medicine to the shortest duration necessary for symptom relief.

• Store Rekin CT Tablet 10s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (below 30°C).

• Keep the tablets in their original blister pack to protect them from moisture.

• Store away from the reach of children and pets.

• Alcohol (Unsafe): Significantly increases the risk of liver damage and stomach ulcers.

• General Diet (Safe): No specific food restrictions, though avoiding very spicy food may help reduce the risk of stomach irritation.

• Blood Thinners (Unsafe): Medicines like Warfarin or Heparin increase the risk of severe bleeding.

• Other NSAIDs (Unsafe): Using with Ibuprofen or Naproxen increases the risk of side effects without adding benefit.

• Antihypertensives (Caution): May reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure medications.

• Lithium/Methotrexate (Caution): Rekin CT Tablet 10s can increase the levels of these drugs in the blood to toxic levels.

• Peptic Ulcers (Unsafe): Can worsen or cause bleeding in patients with active or recurring stomach ulcers.

• Asthma (Caution): Some patients with asthma may experience worsening of symptoms (aspirin-sensitive asthma).

• Heart Failure (Caution): NSAIDs can cause fluid retention and may worsen heart function.

• Liver Disease (Unsafe): Severe liver impairment is a contraindication due to the Paracetamol content.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for a missed one, as this increases the risk of gastric irritation and other side effects.
