Benefits of Hoxarab AP 100mg/325mg/10mg Tablet
Pain relief
Hoxarab AP 100mg/325mg/10mg Tablet is a combination medicine used for short-term relief of pain,
inflammation, and swelling in conditions that affect joints and muscles. It
works by blocking chemical messengers in the brain that tell us we have pain.
It can help relieve pain in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoarthritis. But, this pain-relieving action may damage the inner lining of
the stomach. Therefore, this medicine also has an active ingredient called
Rabeprazole, which reduces the acid secretion in our stomach, thereby reducing
the damage caused by the painkillers.
Take it as it is prescribed to get the most benefit. Do not take more or longer than needed as that can be dangerous. In general, you should take the lowest dose that works, for the shortest possible time. This will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life.
