Diclofenac Paracetamol Tablet is a combination medication that combines two active ingredients—diclofenac and paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen)—to provide relief from pain and inflammation. It is commonly used to manage moderate pain conditions, such as those associated with arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and post-operative pain.
Mechanism of Action
The two active ingredients in Diclofenac Paracetamol work through different mechanisms to provide comprehensive pain relief.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). These enzymes are responsible for producing prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever.
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen), on the other hand, is an analgesic and antipyretic.
Indications and Uses
Diclofenac Paracetamol Tablets are primarily used to treat a range of painful conditions, such as:
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: These inflammatory joint conditions can cause significant pain and swelling, which are alleviated by the anti-inflammatory properties of diclofenac and the pain-relieving effects of paracetamol.
Musculoskeletal pain: Conditions like sprains, strains, and back pain can benefit from the combined effects of diclofenac and paracetamol.
Gout attacks: The anti-inflammatory properties of diclofenac help reduce the swelling and pain associated with gout flare-ups.
It can also be used for short-term management of mild to moderate pain from other causes, such as headaches or menstrual cramps.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Diclofenac Paracetamol Tablets varies based on the individual’s medical condition, age, and response to treatment. The typical dosage for adults is one tablet 2-3 times per day, with a maximum dose of 150 mg of diclofenac and 4 grams of paracetamol per day.
The tablets should be taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably after food, to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. The duration of use should be limited to the shortest time necessary to manage the pain, and patients are advised to consult their healthcare provider before prolonged use.
Side Effects
While Diclofenac Paracetamol Tablets are generally well-tolerated, they may cause side effects, especially with prolonged or high-dose use. Common side effects include:
Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, stomach pain, indigestion, or, less commonly, ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines due to the diclofenac component.
Liver toxicity: Excessive use of paracetamol can lead to liver damage, particularly in those with pre-existing liver conditions or those who consume alcohol.
Kidney problems: NSAIDs like diclofenac can impact kidney function, especially with long-term use.
Headache, dizziness, or drowsiness: Paracetamol may cause mild sedation in some individuals.
Allergic reactions: Rarely, individuals may experience skin rashes or other allergic reactions to the ingredients.
Precautions and Contraindications
Liver and kidney disorders: Caution should be exercised in patients with pre-existing liver or kidney disease, as both diclofenac and paracetamol can exacerbate these conditions.
Gastrointestinal conditions: Patients with a history of ulcers, bleeding, or other gastrointestinal disorders should avoid diclofenac or use it under strict medical supervision.
