How Icobit D Tablet works
Icobit D 100mg/50mg Tablet combines two medicines, Aceclofenac and Diacerein, which relieve muscle and joint pain. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
