Diclac Id 150 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Diclac Id 150 mg is a prescription oral medication containing diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) with potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It is presented as prolonged-release tablets designed to provide sustained pain relief over an extended period, particularly useful in chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Diclac Id 150 mg is commonly used for the management of joint pain, muscle pain, and other inflammatory conditions where long-lasting control of pain and inflammation is required.

Indications:

• Acute and chronic treatment of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), including joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
• Management of rheumatoid arthritis, including chronic inflammatory joint pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
• May be used in other musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions where an nsaid is indicated, as directed by a physician (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis, acute musculoskeletal pain, back pain), depending on local prescribing information.
• Relief of inflammatory pain associated with movement and rest, helping improve function and quality of life in chronic arthritis patients.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Diclofenac sodium – 150 mg per prolonged-release tablet.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults: The usual total daily dose is 150 mg diclofenac sodium, typically taken as one Diclac Id 150 mg prolonged-release tablet once daily, or as directed by the prescribing physician. Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose as per your doctor’s instructions.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break the prolonged-release tablet, as this may affect the controlled release of the medicine.
• Preferably take with or after food to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset.
• 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 dosing instructions and the patient information leaflet provided with the product.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from inflammatory pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Reduces joint swelling, stiffness, and tenderness, helping improve mobility and daily function.
• Prolonged-release formulation offers sustained pain control over an extended period, reducing the need for multiple daily doses.
• Exerts antipyretic effects, helping reduce fever associated with inflammatory conditions when present.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, other nsaids (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin), or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Do not use in patients with a history of nsaid-induced asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other nsaids.
• Contraindicated in patients with 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, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, or those who smoke, 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 those on diuretics, ace inhibitors, or angiotensin ii receptor blockers.
• May increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation, which can be fatal, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Diclofenac is generally not recommended in the third trimester of pregnancy. Use during breastfeeding only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• May cause dizziness, fatigue, or visual disturbances; avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including anticoagulants, antiplatelets, other nsaids, corticosteroids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), and methotrexate, due to potential interactions.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have a history of gastrointestinal disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease), bleeding disorders, asthma, or severe dehydration.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, headache, dizziness, or skin rash.
• Serious side effects can include gastrointestinal bleeding (black or bloody stools, vomiting blood), severe stomach pain, severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing), chest pain, sudden weakness or numbness, slurred speech, or vision changes.
• Stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of severe allergic reaction, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body, or severe stomach/abdominal pain.
