Painac-TR (Diclofenac Sodium)

For adults, the usual dosage listed for diclofenac timed-release capsules is one capsule daily, preferably after meals. The dose and duration must be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the patient's condition. Swallow the capsule as directed; do not alter the dosage form unless instructed by the product leaflet or prescriber.

Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac or any component of the product, and in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic reactions triggered by aspirin or other NSAIDs. Follow the approved product information for all additional contraindications.

Diclofenac may increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration, bleeding, and perforation, as well as cardiovascular and kidney-related adverse effects. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest appropriate duration. Use caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, kidney or liver impairment, or in older adults. Seek urgent medical attention for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding or a serious allergic reaction.

Possible adverse effects include abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and skin rash. Serious adverse effects may include gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney injury, liver problems, severe allergic reactions, and cardiovascular events.

Potential interactions include anticoagulants, antiplatelet medicines, aspirin, other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, certain antidepressants, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, lithium, methotrexate, digoxin, and medicines that affect diclofenac metabolism. Patients should inform their healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements they use.

Pregnancy: Avoid use unless specifically advised by a qualified healthcare professional; NSAIDs can pose fetal risks, particularly from 20 weeks of pregnancy onward, and should generally be avoided from 30 weeks onward. Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional before use. Children: Use only when specifically indicated and prescribed. Older adults and patients with kidney, liver, or cardiovascular disease require careful assessment and monitoring.
