Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases of the locomotor system. Joint pain and movements restriction are typical clinical signs of OA. Aceclofenac is one of the selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with the proven efficacy in OA and good safety profile. Additional features of aceclofenac (fast pain relief, potential chondroprotective influence) make the drug desirable therapeutic option in OA patients.
