Description

Fastaid Plus 50mg Tablets are supplied in a pack of 20, offering a fast-acting option for managing mild to moderate pain and inflammation. This medicine contains Diclofenac Potassium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its relatively quick onset of action compared to some other pain relievers in its class. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins, the chemical messengers responsible for triggering pain, swelling, and fever in the body. Because of its faster absorption, Fastaid Plus is often chosen for situations where quicker symptom relief is needed, alongside its ongoing role in managing chronic joint and muscle conditions. Each tablet is manufactured under strict quality controls to maintain a consistent and dependable dose with every use.

Ingredients

Each Fastaid Plus 50mg Tablet contains Diclofenac Potassium as its active ingredient, present at a strength of 50mg. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients that support its shape, coating, and consistent dissolution, though these inactive components do not contribute to its pain-relieving or anti-inflammatory action.

Dosage Form

Fastaid Plus is presented as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 20 tablets at a strength of 50mg each, designed for straightforward dosing as part of a short-term or ongoing pain management plan.

Uses

Fastaid Plus 50mg Tablets are commonly used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, and post-surgical discomfort. It may also be used for general pain relief in conditions like headaches, menstrual cramps, toothaches, and minor injuries, as determined by a doctor or pharmacist. This medicine addresses symptoms rather than the underlying cause of these conditions and is generally intended for short-term use unless a doctor has advised a longer treatment course for a chronic condition.

How to Use

Fastaid Plus should be taken exactly as directed by the prescribing doctor or as indicated on the packaging, generally divided into two to three doses across the day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be chewed, broken, or crushed. Taking it with food, milk, or an antacid can help reduce the chance of stomach upset, and maintaining good hydration while using this medicine is recommended. The stated dose should not be exceeded within a 24-hour period, and use beyond a short course should only continue if specifically advised by a doctor.

Side Effects

Fastaid Plus may cause side effects, particularly with higher doses or prolonged use. Commonly reported effects include nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, and headache. Some individuals may also experience constipation, abdominal pain, or mild skin rashes. Less commonly, more serious effects such as stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, liver dysfunction, or allergic reactions may occur, and these require prompt medical attention. Patients with a history of asthma, since NSAIDs can sometimes worsen breathing symptoms in susceptible individuals, should discuss this with their doctor before starting treatment. Alcohol should be avoided while taking this medicine, as it can increase the risk of stomach irritation.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Fastaid Plus should only be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding if clearly necessary and advised by a doctor, since NSAIDs can carry risks to the developing baby, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy. Anyone who is pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or nursing should consult their doctor before taking this medicine so that potential risks and benefits can be properly considered.

Storage Instructions

Store Fastaid Plus Tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, excess heat, and moisture. Keep tablets in their original packaging until ready for use to protect them from environmental exposure. Store the medicine securely out of reach of children. Do not use tablets beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging, and dispose of unused or expired medicine responsibly rather than through regular household waste.
