Diclac 75 Mg Ampoules

Diclac 75 Mg Ampoules

Description:

Diclac 75 mg ampoules are a prescription-only injectable non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) containing diclofenac sodium. Each ampoule is formulated for intramuscular administration to provide rapid relief of pain, inflammation, and fever associated with various acute and chronic musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions. It is commonly used in hospital and clinical settings when fast onset of action is required or when oral administration is not suitable (e.g. post-operative pain, severe acute pain, or gastrointestinal intolerance to tablets).

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 (joint inflammation, pain, reduced mobility).
• Management of acute musculoskeletal pain such as back pain, sprains, strains, and sports injuries.
• Post-operative pain and inflammation following surgical or dental procedures, as prescribed by a physician.
• Acute gout attacks (pain, redness, and swelling in joints), as directed by a doctor.
• Dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps), when injectable nsaid therapy is indicated and prescribed.
• Short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain where parenteral nsaid therapy is clinically appropriate.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Diclofenac sodium – 75 mg per 3 ml ampoule.
• Excipients: the full list of inactive ingredients (e.g. solvents, stabilizers) is not provided in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.). Please refer to the official package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Diclac 75 mg ampoules are for intramuscular injection only and must be administered by a healthcare professional.
• Typical adult dose: 75 mg (1 ampoule) given deep intramuscularly, usually in the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal muscle. The exact dose, frequency, and duration are determined by the prescribing physician based on the condition and patient response.
• In some cases, a second injection may be given after several hours, not exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of diclofenac from all sources (usually 150 mg/day in adults, unless otherwise directed by a doctor).
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to reduce the risk of side effects, especially gastrointestinal and cardiovascular events.
• Not intended for self-injection at home unless specifically trained and instructed by a healthcare provider.
• Do not mix Diclac with other injectable solutions in the same syringe unless specifically recommended in the prescribing information.
• Always follow your doctor’s instructions and the official prescribing information for exact dosing and administration details.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides strong analgesic (pain-relieving) action for moderate to severe pain of musculoskeletal and inflammatory origin.
• Reduces inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (cox-1 and cox-2) enzymes, leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis at the site of inflammation.
• Offers antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects through action on the hypothalamus, promoting peripheral vasodilation and heat loss.
• Rapid onset of action via intramuscular route, making it suitable for acute pain crises and post-operative pain when oral therapy is not feasible.
• Helps improve mobility and function in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by decreasing pain and joint swelling.

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 bronchospasm and anaphylaxis).
• 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 (e.g. ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure) or risk factors for cardiovascular events, as nsaids may increase the risk of thrombotic events.
• Use with caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, hypertension, fluid retention, or edema; dose adjustment and close monitoring may be required.
• May increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation, which can be fatal, especially in elderly patients or those with prior gi disease.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing. Diclofenac is generally not recommended in the third trimester of pregnancy due to risk of fetal and maternal complications.
• May interact with anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, other nsaids, corticosteroids, diuretics, ace inhibitors, arbs, lithium, methotrexate, and certain other medications. Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.

• Do not use beyond the expiry date or if the solution appears discolored or contains particles.
