History
Acemetacin  is manufactured by Merck under the tradename Emflex, and is available in the UK as a prescription-only drug.
Uses

    Acemetacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain, and relieving post-operative pain.
    Acemetacin, a glycolic acid ester of indometacin, acts as a prodrug; in the body, it is metabolized to indometacin, which then acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, producing the anti-inflammatory effects.

Consensus Reports
    An advantage of acemetacin is that it reduces gastric damage when compared to indometacin.
