Diclopro 150 mg id 20 tabs

Description:

Diclopro 150 mg id 20 tabs is a prescription oral medicine containing diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) with potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It is used for the acute and chronic management of painful inflammatory conditions, particularly osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, helping to reduce joint pain, swelling, and stiffness to improve mobility and quality of life. Diclopro is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Acute and chronic treatment of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (joint pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced mobility).
• Acute and chronic treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory joint disease with pain, swelling, morning stiffness).
• Relief of inflammatory musculoskeletal pain where diclofenac is indicated, as prescribed by a physician.
• Reduction of pain and inflammation associated with degenerative joint disease and other rheumatic conditions, according to medical advice.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Diclofenac sodium – 150 mg per tablet (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug – nsaid).
• Other inactive ingredients (excipients) are present in the tablet core and coating to ensure stability and proper tablet formation; detailed excipient list is not available in the provided information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Diclopro 150 mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Typical adult dosing for diclofenac in chronic arthritis is divided during the day; the exact regimen (once daily or divided doses) must be determined by the prescribing physician based on patient condition and response.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• It is generally recommended to take diclofenac with food or after meals to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset or irritation.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Do not use in children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, helping patients perform daily activities more comfortably.
• Reduces inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (cox-1 and cox-2) enzymes, leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis at sites of inflammation.
• Offers analgesic benefits by reducing prostaglandin-mediated sensitization of pain receptors, thereby lowering pain perception.
• Exerts antipyretic effects through action on the hypothalamus, promoting peripheral vasodilation, increased skin blood flow, and heat dissipation to help reduce fever.
• Improves joint function and mobility over time when used regularly as prescribed in chronic inflammatory conditions.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, other nsaids, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other nsaids (risk of severe, potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions).
• Contraindicated in active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or perforation, or a history of recurrent peptic ulcer/gi bleeding.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking), as nsaids may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
• Use with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, heart failure, or fluid retention; dose adjustment and close monitoring may be required.
• May cause serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation, which can be fatal, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Diclofenac is generally not recommended, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, other nsaids, corticosteroids, diuretics, antihypertensives, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), due to potential drug interactions.
• Not intended for self-medication of chronic conditions without medical supervision.
• Do not use longer than prescribed. Long-term use of nsaids may increase the risk of serious adverse events.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, kidney disease, bleeding disorders, or uncontrolled hypertension.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, headache, dizziness, and skin rash.
• Serious side effects may include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer (symptoms: black/tarry stools, vomiting blood or coffee-ground-like material, severe stomach pain), severe allergic reactions (swelling of face/lips/tongue, difficulty breathing, severe rash), liver problems (yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, persistent nausea), kidney problems (changes in urine output, swelling of legs/ankles), and serious cardiovascular events (chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or slurred speech).
• Stop using the medicine and seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of severe allergic reaction, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body, severe stomach pain, or any unusual bleeding or bruising.
• If any side effects persist, worsen, or you notice any other unexpected symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
