Uses of Ark-Ap
Pain relief
Benefits of Ark-Ap
- In Pain
- Ark-Ap blocks the chemicals that cause pain at the site of an injury or inflammation, giving relief that is often stronger than paracetamol for pain with swelling.
- In Inflammation
- Ark-Ap reduces the swelling, redness, heat and stiffness of an inflamed joint or injured tissue, so movement is easier.
- In Arthritis
- Ark-Ap eases the pain and morning stiffness of arthritis, so joints move more freely and daily tasks become easier.
- In Fever
- Ark-Ap lowers a raised temperature and relieves the aching that goes with it.
- In Period pain
- Ark-Ap reduces the chemicals that make the womb cramp during a period, which is why it works well for period pain when taken as the pain begins.
- In Headache
- Ark-Ap relieves a headache by blocking the chemical messengers in the brain that signal pain, usually within the hour.
- In Body ache
- Ark-Ap eases the generalised aching of viral illness, overexertion or fever so you can rest and move more comfortably.
- In Mild to moderate pain
- Ark-Ap relieves everyday pain such as toothache, period pain and sprains. It is gentle on the stomach, which is why it is usually the first painkiller a doctor suggests.
How Ark-Ap works
Ark-AP Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Aceclofenac and Paracetamol. These medicines work by blocking the action of chemical messengers responsible for pain, fever and inflammation (redness and swelling).
How to take Ark-Ap
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Ark-AP Tablet may be taken with or without food.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Ark-AP Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause stomach bleeding, kidney failure, drowsiness and fits. It can cause severe and sometimes fatal liver damage, often with no symptoms at all for the first day. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Ark-Ap
Most side effects of Ark-Ap are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Indigestion
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Heartburn
- Dizziness
- Swelling of the ankles and feet
- Rash
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
Safety advice for Ark-Ap
- AlcoholUNSAFE
- Do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine.
- PregnancyUNSAFE
- Not recommended in pregnancy. It may harm the developing baby, so tell your doctor at once if you are or might be pregnant.
- Breast feedingUNSAFE
- Not recommended while breastfeeding.
- DrivingUNSAFE
- Do not drive or operate machinery while taking this medicine.
- KidneyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
- Consult your doctor if you have kidney disease.
- LiverUNSAFE
- Not recommended if you have significant liver disease.
Warnings and precautions
Take it with or just after food, and for the shortest time that works. Stop and seek urgent care for black or tarry stools, vomiting blood, or severe stomach pain — this group can cause bleeding from the stomach. Long or high-dose use raises the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney injury, particularly in older people and those already at risk. Avoid if you are dehydrated or have an illness with vomiting or loose motions — the kidneys are vulnerable then. Must be avoided in the last three months of pregnancy. Never exceed the daily maximum printed on the pack. Paracetamol overdose damages the liver, and the damage can be silent for a day or two before it becomes serious. Check every other medicine you are taking. Paracetamol is in a very large number of cold, flu and pain combinations, and the doses add together. If you drink alcohol regularly, or have liver disease, ask your doctor what daily limit is safe for you. See a doctor if fever lasts more than three days, or pain more than five.
Do not take Ark-Ap if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with an active stomach ulcer, severe kidney or heart failure, or asthma triggered by aspirin or anti-inflammatory painkillers. Not in the third trimester of pregnancy. Not for people with severe liver disease, except under medical supervision.
Interactions with other medicines
Combining with a blood thinner or aspirin sharply raises the bleeding risk. Reduces the effect of blood pressure medicines and water tablets, and together with them can harm the kidneys. Never take two anti-inflammatory painkillers at the same time. Regular alcohol use increases the risk of liver injury. Tell your doctor if you are on warfarin — regular high-dose paracetamol can affect it.
How to store Ark-Ap
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick tips for Ark-Ap
- Take Ark-AP Tablet with food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation.
- Do not take Ark-AP Tablet with other medicines containing paracetamol without consulting your doctor.
- Avoid taking Ark-AP Tablet with other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or diclofenac) unless advised by your doctor.
- Ark-AP Tablet may cause dizziness or sleepiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Stop taking Ark-AP Tablet and seek medical attention if you develop severe stomach pain or black/tarry stools.
- Stay well hydrated while using Ark-AP Tablet, as dehydration may increase the risk of kidney-related side effects.
- Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease, or liver disease before taking Ark-AP Tablet.
