efficacy and safety. Here various research journals and books and other reliable sources are
checked and studied to compare aceclofenac with other alternative drugs included Diclofenac,
Naproxen, Piroxicam, Indomethacin, Ketoprofen, which are generally used as medication of OA.
In this study it is found that aceclofenac is the safest drug among the NSAIDs with good potency.
