Posted on Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Question: What are the side effects of long term use of Acelofenac

Answered by Dr. Dr. Prasad J (6 minutes later)

Brief Answer: Renal disease and gastritis... Detailed Answer: Hi, Acelofenac is a commonly used NSAID pain killer. However long term use is associated with gastritis / ulcer / GERD and renal disease in some people (not every one). You need to watch out for abdominal pain, vomiting, swollen limbs and reduced urine out while on this medicine. I urge my patients to consider other pain reducing measures rather than being on long term pain killers. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
