Description

Description

Dimis is an oral tablet manufactured by Genix Pharma, combining Diclofenac Sodium 75mg with Misoprostol 200mcg in each tablet, supplied in a pack of 20 tablets. Diclofenac Sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness, commonly used for joint and musculoskeletal conditions. Misoprostol is included specifically to help protect the lining of the stomach and reduce the risk of ulcers that can develop with regular NSAID use, making this combination particularly suited to individuals who need ongoing anti-inflammatory treatment but are also at higher risk of stomach-related side effects. Dimis is intended strictly for use under medical supervision, and given the presence of Misoprostol, it carries specific and important precautions that must be discussed with a doctor before starting treatment.

Ingredients

Each Dimis tablet contains two active ingredients: Diclofenac Sodium at a strength of 75mg, which provides pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory action, and Misoprostol at a strength of 200mcg, a prostaglandin analogue that helps protect the stomach lining. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical-grade excipients for binding, coating, and tablet formation, which support consistent dosing and shelf stability without adding therapeutic effect of their own.

Dosage Form

Dimis is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 20 tablets, with each tablet delivering a fixed-dose combination of 75mg Diclofenac Sodium and 200mcg Misoprostol.

Uses

Dimis is generally used for the relief of pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in individuals who require regular NSAID therapy but are considered to be at increased risk of developing stomach ulcers from anti-inflammatory use alone. The added Misoprostol component helps reduce this risk, making Dimis a suitable option when longer-term anti-inflammatory treatment is needed alongside protective stomach care, as determined by a physician.

How to Use

Dimis should be taken exactly as directed by a physician, generally with food and a full glass of water to help minimize stomach irritation. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed unless specifically advised otherwise. The prescribed dose and frequency should be followed closely, and the medicine should not be used for longer than recommended without medical review. Since Dimis contains Misoprostol, it must never be taken by anyone other than the person for whom it was specifically prescribed.

Side Effects

Dimis may cause side effects including stomach discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal cramping, particularly linked to the Misoprostol component. The Diclofenac component may cause effects such as headache, dizziness, fluid retention, or, in some individuals, stomach irritation despite the added protective effect. Less commonly, allergic reactions, changes in blood pressure, or signs of gastrointestinal bleeding such as dark stools may occur, and these require immediate medical attention. Anyone experiencing severe abdominal pain, unusual bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction should stop the medicine and seek medical care promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Dimis must not be used during pregnancy or by anyone who may become pregnant while taking it, as Misoprostol can cause the uterus to contract and may lead to pregnancy loss or harm to the developing baby. Women of childbearing potential should use reliable contraception while taking this medicine and should stop treatment immediately and consult a doctor if pregnancy is suspected. Dimis is also generally not recommended during breastfeeding, and a doctor should be consulted before use in this situation as well.

Storage Instructions

Dimis tablets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excess heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use, and store them securely out of reach of children and pets, given the specific risks associated with the Misoprostol component. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the pack.
