Description
Remethan Tablet, manufactured by High-Q Pharmaceuticals, contains 50 mg of Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is primarily used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Acute gout
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Pain from fractures, trauma, dislocations, and dental procedures
Mechanism of Action
Diclofenac Sodium works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a crucial role in the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation and pain. By blocking these enzymes, Remethan reduces the release of inflammatory agents, thereby alleviating symptoms such as pain and swelling.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage for adults is typically 2 to 3 tablets per day, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. It is advised to take the tablets with a full glass of water, preferably after meals to minimize gastrointestinal irritation.
Side Effects and Precautions
Common side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, dizziness, and potential impacts on kidney function. It is important to avoid alcohol while taking this medication as it can increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Additionally, Remethan is not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation due to potential risks to the fetus or nursing infant
