Aceclofenac is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Peak plasma concentration reaches in 1-3 h after an oral dose. The plasma elimination half life of the drug is approximately 4 h. The chronopharmacological approach for the management of rheumatoid arthritis has been well documented. Considering this factor, aceclofenac under investigation in the present study was developed as a colon targeted delivery system through tablets, pellets and microspheres. Additionally a Pulsincap drug delivery of the drug was also studied to meet the objective of circadian rhythm in rheumatoid arthritis.
