Product details
Diclocan AQ Injection & Diclocan S-AQ Injection Generic Name: Diclofenac Sodium Injection IP Diclocan AQ Injection and Diclocan S-AQ Injection contain Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for short-term management of acute pain and inflammation when injectable treatment is considered appropriate. Diclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing the formation of prostaglandins involved in pain, inflammation, and fever. The exact strength, concentration, and differences between the AQ and S-AQ formulations should be confirmed from their respective product labels. Dosage Diclofenac Sodium Injection should be administered only by a qualified healthcare professional. The appropriate dose, route, frequency, and duration depend on: Severity and type of pain Patient's age and medical condition Other NSAIDs or diclofenac products being used Kidney and liver function Cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risk factors Injectable diclofenac is generally intended for short-term treatment. The specific route of administration must follow the approved instructions for the individual formulation. Precautions Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs where contraindicated. Inform the doctor about a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding. Extra caution is required in patients with heart, kidney, or liver disease. Inform the healthcare professional about asthma or previous NSAID-related allergic reactions. Tell the doctor about anticoagulants, antiplatelet medicines, other NSAIDs, and other medications being used. Avoid using multiple diclofenac-containing products unless specifically prescribed. Pregnancy requires medical assessment; NSAIDs have important restrictions, particularly later in pregnancy. Side Effects Possible side effects include: Injection-site pain or reaction Nausea Vomiting Indigestion Abdominal discomfort Headache Dizziness Diarrhea More serious adverse effects can include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, kidney impairment, cardiovascular complications, severe allergic reactions, and serious skin reactions.
