Question 4

What is the active ingredient?

Accepted Answer

The primary active ingredient is Diclofenac Sodium, a phenylacetic acid derivative that inhibits enzymes responsible for producing inflammatory chemicals.

Question 5

How does Diclofenac work?

Accepted Answer

It works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, which produce prostaglandins at the site of injury. This effectively lowers pain signals and decreases physical swelling.

Swallow tablets whole with a glass of water. It is highly recommended to take your dose with or after food to protect your stomach lining from potential irritation.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, dizziness, and headaches. Rare but serious side effects can include severe stomach pain (potential ulcer), allergic reactions, chest pain, or jaundice.

Question 9

Can I drink alcohol while taking Diclofenac?

Accepted Answer

While moderate alcohol consumption is generally permitted, it is best to limit intake as both alcohol and NSAIDs can irritate the stomach lining, increasing the risk of an ulcer.

Question 10

Is Diclofenac an antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

No, Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain and swelling. It does not treat bacterial infections.

Question 11

How long does it take for the tablets to work?

Accepted Answer

You will typically feel the effects within 30 to 60 minutes, though it may take a few days of regular use to achieve the full anti-inflammatory benefit for chronic conditions.
