aceclofenac dose - #27362

Anvi

I am really worried about the aceclofenac dose I’ve been taking. Got this prescription a few weeks ago for some severe back pain after lifting something way too heavy at work. Some days the pain’s been unbearable, and my doctor said aceclofenac would help. I started at 100mg twice a day as instructed, but I still feel like something is off. After about a week, though, I felt like I needed to take more because the pain was still pretty bad! So, I tried 150mg at one point, thinking maybe a higher aceclofenac dose would do the trick. But now I'm just not sure if that was smart. I’ve read online that taking too much aceclofenac can have serious side effects, and I'm worried I might be pushing my luck here. Last time I saw my doctor, she just mentioned something about how aceclofenac dose should be adjusted based on my symptoms, but I feel like there is no clear rule. Has anyone else experienced this and what aceclofenac dose have you found effective? Should I stick to the prescribed amount or try to talk to my doctor about adjusting it again? Ugh, this pain is just driving me crazy!

Doctors' responses

Aceclofenac, like other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can be effective for pain relief, but it’s crucial to adhere to the recommended dosage to avoid potential side effects. Typically, the standard dose for aceclofenac in adults is 100 mg twice a day. Increasing the dose to 150 mg without specific medical advice could raise the risk of side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular problems, or kidney damage. Given your symptoms, it’s concerning that the initial dose isn’t adequately managing your pain. However, instead of independently changing your dosage, reaching out to your healthcare provider would be the appropriate step. They can assess whether aceclofenac is the right medication for your condition or if other treatments should be considered, including alternative medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes to manage your back pain effectively. It’s also worth discussing any over-the-counter medications or supplements you might be taking, as these can interact with aceclofenac. Your doctor can also investigate if there’s an underlying issue causing your persistent pain that needs addressing. Meanwhile, ensure you’re not doing activities that could worsen your back pain, such as heavy lifting. Avoid skipping doses or doubling up as this can increase your risk of adverse effects. It’s important to have a balanced approach to treatment, prioritizing both safety and efficacy.
