Description
(Diclofenac) belongs to a group of medicines called non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are used to treat pain and inflammation. Diclofenac, a phenyl acetic acid derivative, is chemically described as 2-[(2, 6-dichlorophenyl) amino] benzene acetic acid, monosodium salt. Diclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, the enzymes that are responsible for production of a prostaglandin; (PG) G2, which is the precursor to other prostaglandins. These molecules have broad actions in the mechanism of pain and inflammation and the inhibition of production of these prostaglandins by diclofenac results in cure from inflammation and pain. -

In case of Overdose
Consult your doctor for management of overdose. Overdose can cause symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, diarrhea, dizziness, disorientation, excitation, coma, drowsiness, sinnitus, fainting or convulsions. In the case of significant poisoning acute renal failure and liver damage are possible. Supportive measures and symptomatic treatment should be given for complications such as hypotension, renal failure, convulsions, gastrointestinal disorder, and respiratory depression. Activated charcoal may be considered after ingestion of a potentially toxic overdose, and gastric decontamination (e.g., vomiting, gastric lavage) after ingestion of a potentially life threatening overdose. -

In case you missed any dose, take the next dose as soon as you remember, but don't double your next dose to compensate for the missed one. -

Ulceration and bleeding may occur even in the absence of previous GI tract symptoms. NSAIDs should be prescribed with extreme caution in those with a prior history of ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Special care should be taken in treating this population in elderly people to avoid fatal Gastro-intestinal events.
