About this product

Overview

Dicloran Tablet SR 100mg contains Diclofenac Sodium as its active ingredient. It belongs to the class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Diclofenac Sodium is widely used for its analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Ingredients

  • Diclofenac Sodium (100mg): Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides relief from pain and inflammation by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins.

Uses

Dicloran Tablet SR 100mg is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:

  • Pain Relief: Diclofenac Sodium is effective in relieving pain associated with various conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and postoperative pain.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Diclofenac Sodium helps reduce inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other inflammatory conditions.
  • Fever Reduction: Diclofenac Sodium may be used to reduce fever in certain circumstances, although it is primarily prescribed for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Side Effects

  1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Common side effects of Diclofenac Sodium include nausea, indigestion, heartburn, and abdominal pain.
  2. Dizziness: Some individuals may experience dizziness or lightheadedness after taking Diclofenac Sodium.
  3. Skin Reactions: Rarely, Diclofenac Sodium may cause skin reactions such as rash, itching, or hives.
  4. Gastrointestinal Ulcers and Bleeding: Long-term use or high doses of Diclofenac Sodium may increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.

Precautions

  1. Cardiovascular Risk: Diclofenac Sodium may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, particularly with long-term use or in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.
  2. Renal Impairment: Diclofenac Sodium should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment, as it can impair kidney function and lead to fluid retention and edema.
  3. Hepatic Impairment: Patients with liver disease or hepatic impairment should use Diclofenac Sodium with caution, as it can cause liver toxicity and worsen existing liver conditions.
  4. Asthma: Diclofenac Sodium may exacerbate asthma symptoms in susceptible individuals. Patients with asthma should use Diclofenac Sodium cautiously and under medical supervision.

When Not to Use

Dicloran Tablet SR 100mg should not be used in the following situations:

  • Known hypersensitivity or allergy to Diclofenac Sodium or any component of the tablet.
  • History of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.
  • Active gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding.
  • Severe heart failure, renal failure, or hepatic failure.
  • Pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester, due to the potential for fetal harm.
