About this product
Overview
Dicloran Injection 75mg contains Diclofenac Sodium as its active ingredient. Diclofenac Sodium belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is 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 (75mg): 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 Injection 75mg is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:
- Pain Relief: Diclofenac Sodium is effective in relieving pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, dental pain, musculoskeletal disorders, and postoperative pain.
- Inflammation Reduction: Diclofenac Sodium helps reduce inflammation associated with various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and acute gout.
- 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
- Gastrointestinal Upset: Common side effects of Diclofenac Sodium include nausea, indigestion, heartburn, and abdominal pain.
- Dizziness: Some individuals may experience dizziness or lightheadedness after receiving Diclofenac Sodium injection.
- Skin Reactions: Rarely, Diclofenac Sodium may cause skin reactions such as rash, itching, or hives.
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Long-term use or high doses of Diclofenac Sodium may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers.
Precautions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
