Diclac 75 20 TAB

Description:

Diclac 75 is a prescription oral medicine containing diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) with potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. These prolonged-release tablets are designed to provide sustained relief from pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Diclac 75 is commonly used in adults to manage moderate pain, swelling, and stiffness, helping improve mobility and quality of life when taken under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Acute and chronic treatment of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (joint pain, stiffness, swelling).
• Acute and chronic treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
• Pain and inflammation in other musculoskeletal conditions as determined by the physician (e.g. low back pain, sprains, strains, periarticular disorders).
• Symptomatic relief of inflammatory pain where an nsaid is indicated, under medical guidance.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Diclofenac sodium – 75 mg per prolonged-release tablet.
• Other excipients: full excipient list and their concentrations are not available in the provided data. Refer to the official package leaflet for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults: The usual dose is 75 mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by the physician. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose recommended by your doctor.
• Swallow the prolonged-release tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, break, or chew, as this may affect the prolonged-release profile.
• Preferably take with or after food to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
• Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Always follow your doctor’s instructions and the directions on the product label. Do not self-adjust the dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from moderate pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Reduces inflammation, swelling, and joint stiffness, helping improve mobility and daily function.
• Offers antipyretic (fever-reducing) action when inflammation is associated with elevated temperature.
• Prolonged-release formulation helps maintain therapeutic levels of diclofenac over an extended period, allowing more convenient dosing as prescribed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, other nsaids, or any component of the product.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other nsaids.
• Contraindicated in active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or perforation, or history of recurrent peptic ulcer/gi bleeding.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, or smokers, as nsaids may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events (e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke).
• Use with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, heart failure, or in the elderly; dose adjustment and close monitoring may be required.
• May cause gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, or perforation, which can be fatal and may occur without warning, especially in elderly or high-risk patients.
