About Dycil-AQ Injection

DICLOFENAC belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with migraine, muscle pain, dental pain, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gout, strain, and sprain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. 

DICLOFENAC contains diclofenac which works by blocking the effect of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX) that produces prostaglandins responsible for the sense of pain and inflammation. Thereby, DICLOFENAC provides relief from pain and inflammation.

Take DICLOFENAC as prescribed. In some cases, DICLOFENAC may cause stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, loss of appetite, headache, and dizziness. Most of these side effects of DICLOFENAC do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor before taking DICLOFENAC if you have stomach ulcers, gastric bleeding, severe heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding. DICLOFENAC may cause dizziness; therefore, drive only if you are alert. Avoid/limit alcohol consumption as it may cause increased dizziness and stomach irritation.
