Product introduction
Altraday Capsule SR is a sustained-release combination medicine that pairs a pain-relieving agent with a stomach-protecting agent in a single dose. It is commonly prescribed for people who need ongoing relief from joint, muscle, or dental pain but are also at risk of stomach irritation from long-term pain medicine use. The sustained-release design allows the capsule to release its contents gradually, supporting relief across the day. Because it combines two distinct actions in one capsule, it is typically used only under a doctor's supervision.
Storage: Store below 25°C, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight
