Description
DICLOMOL 50MG E.C. TABS 100’S are enteric-coated tablets combining the analgesic and antipyretic effects of paracetamol (acetaminophen) with the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of diclofenac sodium. The enteric coating protects the stomach lining by preventing early dissolution, thus reducing gastrointestinal irritation commonly associated with NSAIDs.
Active Ingredients:
-
Diclofenac Sodium 50mg (enteric-coated)
-
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen)
Indications:
-
Relief of mild to moderate pain including musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, and post-injury or postoperative discomfort
-
Treatment of inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other rheumatic disorders
-
Management of headaches, dental pain, and fever
Mechanism of Action:
-
Diclofenac Sodium: Acts by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation and pain. The enteric coating ensures the drug bypasses the stomach, dissolving in the intestine to minimize gastric side effects.
-
Paracetamol: Provides central analgesic and antipyretic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the brain.
Dosage & Administration:
-
Typically taken orally, one or two tablets every 6 to 8 hours as needed, or as prescribed by a healthcare professional
-
Should be swallowed whole; do not crush or chew to preserve the enteric coating
-
Recommended to take with food or milk to further reduce gastric irritation
