About DICLOFENAC(25MG/ML)
Introduction
Diclofenac 25mg/ml injection is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain relief and reducing inflammation. This injectable formulation contains diclofenac sodium as the active ingredient and is administered when rapid pain relief is needed or when oral medication cannot be taken.
Uses
Used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain conditions including post-operative pain, renal colic (kidney stone pain), acute gout attacks, back pain, injuries and trauma, and painful inflammatory conditions. It is also used for managing pain associated with migraine attacks and dental procedures.
Benefits
Provides fast and effective relief from pain and inflammation when administered as an injection. Works rapidly compared to oral forms, making it suitable for acute painful conditions. Reduces fever and swelling associated with various inflammatory conditions. Particularly helpful when immediate pain control is needed or when patients cannot take oral medications.
Side effects
Common side effects include pain or irritation at the injection site, nausea, headache, dizziness, and stomach discomfort. Some patients may experience indigestion or diarrhea. Rarely, allergic reactions, increased blood pressure, or stomach ulcers may occur. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Contact your doctor if you experience severe stomach pain, black stools, chest pain, or signs of allergic reaction.
How to use
This injection is administered by a qualified healthcare professional in a hospital or clinic setting, either into a muscle (intramuscular) or vein (intravenous). The dose and duration will be determined by your doctor based on your condition and response. Never attempt to self-administer. The injection site may alternate to prevent local irritation. Always follow your doctor's prescribed schedule.
How it works
Diclofenac works by blocking the production of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. It inhibits an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for producing these pain-causing chemicals. By reducing prostaglandin levels, it effectively relieves pain, reduces swelling, and lowers body temperature.
Safety advice
Avoid alcohol as it increases the risk of stomach bleeding. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, as use is generally not recommended. Caution needed in patients with kidney, liver, or heart disease. May cause dizziness; avoid driving if affected. Tell your doctor about all medications you take, especially blood thinners, other NSAIDs, or blood pressure medicines. Not suitable for patients with active stomach ulcers or severe heart failure. Regular monitoring may be required for long-term use.
