Ingredients

Each tablet contains 50mg of Diclofenac Potassium as the active pharmaceutical ingredient, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet formulation, stability, and consistent drug release.

Dosage Form

Diclorep is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets, intended for short-term symptomatic relief under medical guidance.

Uses

Diclorep is commonly used for the relief of:

• Mild to moderate pain, including headaches and toothaches
• Muscular pain, sprains, and strains
• Post-traumatic and post-operative pain and swelling
• Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
• Fever associated with inflammatory conditions
• Acute flare-ups of arthritis-related pain

Diclofenac Potassium is often preferred for conditions requiring faster symptom relief due to its quicker absorption profile.

How to Use

Diclorep tablets should be taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably with or after food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed unless otherwise directed. The appropriate dose and treatment duration should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider based on the individual’s condition and response to therapy.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Diclorep may include:

• Nausea or stomach upset
• Heartburn or indigestion
• Headache or dizziness
• Diarrhea
• Skin rash or itching

Less frequently, more serious effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated blood pressure, or fluid retention may occur. Any severe or persistent symptoms should be discussed with a doctor without delay.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Diclorep should be avoided during pregnancy unless specifically prescribed by a physician, particularly in the final trimester, due to potential risks to the developing baby. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before use, as the medication may pass into breast milk in small quantities.

Storage Instructions

Store Diclorep tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Keep the medication in its original packaging and out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
