Hello, I have a question about the drug Aclexa - whether a person aged 58 years , in active inflammation of the tendon sheath of the wrist can take this drug p/inflammatory. Previously, she took Apo Napro 250 mg per day for 4 days and there is no improvement. Thank you in advance for your reply. Monika Ciborowska

Yes, Aclexa can be used to actively inflame the tendon sheath of the wrist. However, since it is a prescription-only drug, the final decision on its use must be made by a doctor. Although both drugs - Aclexa and Apo-Napro belong to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, they have different mechanisms of action. Aclexa as a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase type 2 is used m.in. in the treatment of symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, so it may be more effective in this case. After all, it is worth consulting a doctor, perhaps it will be more effective to include, for example, steroid drugs.
