Description
DICARD 100MG F/C TABS 30’S contains diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in various musculoskeletal and joint conditions. Each film-coated tablet delivers 100mg of diclofenac, providing extended relief for conditions such as arthritis, back pain, sprains, and postoperative inflammation.
Mechanism of Action:
Diclofenac works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, DICARD 100MG effectively decreases pain and swelling.
Indications:
-
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Ankylosing spondylitis
-
Acute musculoskeletal injuries
-
Post-traumatic or postoperative pain

Dosage & Administration:
Typically taken once daily due to its sustained-release formulation, DICARD 100MG provides long-lasting symptom control. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water, preferably after meals to minimize gastric irritation.

-
