Vastaflam 50 Mg

Vastaflam 50 Mg

Description:

Vastaflam 50 mg is a prescription oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing diclofenac potassium, manufactured by EIPICO. It is formulated as sugar-coated tablets designed for rapid pain relief, reduction of inflammation, and lowering of fever. Vastaflam 50 mg is commonly used in the management of musculoskeletal and joint disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout, and for short-term relief of moderate pain including dental, orthopedic, and gynecological pain such as dysmenorrhea. It works by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing prostaglandin synthesis, which are key mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever.

Indications:

• Rheumatoid arthritis – relief of pain, stiffness, and inflammation in affected joints.
• Ankylosing spondylitis – reduction of spinal and peripheral joint pain and inflammation.
• Osteoarthritis – symptomatic treatment of pain, swelling, and reduced mobility in degenerative joint disease.
• Acute gout – short-term relief of acute inflammatory attacks and severe joint pain.
• Other inflammatory joint disorders – including crystal deposition diseases and other inflammatory conditions of the joints.
• Post-operative pain and inflammation – particularly after dental and minor orthopedic procedures.
• Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) – relief of menstrual cramps and associated pelvic pain.
• General moderate pain and inflammation where an NSAID is indicated, as assessed by a healthcare professional.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective analgesic action for moderate pain associated with arthritis, injury, dental procedures, and menstrual cramps.
• Reduces inflammation in joints and soft tissues, improving mobility and functional capacity in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
• Offers antipyretic (fever-reducing) effect by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system.
• Rapid onset of action due to diclofenac potassium salt form, making it suitable for acute pain episodes.
