Sugar free.

?

PHARMACOLOGICAL?ACTION:

Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal compound, a phenylacetic acid derivative, with analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Diclofenac sodium inhibits the biosynthesis and release of prostaglandins, which are known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever. ADCO-DICLOFENAC Tablets are enteric-coated so that absorption occurs in the gastrointestinal tract to give peak plasma concentrations approximately 2 hours after ingestion. There is at least 99% binding to plasma-proteins and excretion of metabolites is mainly in the urine.?

?

INDICATIONS:

Inflammatory and degenerative forms of rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteo-arthrosis, painful post-operative and post-traumatic inflammation and swelling and dysmenorrhoea.

?

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

Diclofenac sodium is contra-indicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac and in patients who respond to aspirin and aspirin-type drugs with sensitivity reactions like asthma, acute rhinitis and urticaria. Diclofenac sodium is absolutely contra-indicated in patients with peptic ulceration or a history of such ulceration, and should be used with caution in patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency.

?

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
The safe use of ADCO-DICLOFENAC in pregnancy has not been demonstrated.
