Indications & Clinical Uses

Diclofenac Sodium is an NSAID that acts on inflammatory pathways to manage several painful and inflammatory conditions.

  • Osteoarthritis: reduces joint pain and swelling, improving mobility.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: alleviates chronic joint inflammation and discomfort.
  • Musculoskeletal pain: provides rapid relief of strain, sprain and back pain.
  • Acute pain: diminishes short‑term pain following injury or surgery.

How It Works

  • Diclofenac sodium reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, decreasing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. This reduction in prostaglandin synthesis diminishes inflammation, pain signaling, and fever responses at the site of tissue injury.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may range from mild to severe, depending on individual susceptibility and duration of therapy.

Common Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal discomfort.
  • Headache: mild to moderate intensity.
  • Dizziness or vertigo.
  • Skin rash or pruritus.
  • Elevated liver enzymes.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation.
  • Severe hepatic injury or jaundice.
  • Acute renal failure or significant decline in kidney function.
  • Life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.
  • Anaphylactic or severe allergic reactions.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, consider the following safety measures.

  • Assess renal function: adjust use in patients with impaired kidney function.
  • Monitor hepatic enzymes: exercise caution in liver disease.
  • Avoid in active peptic ulcer disease: heightened risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Use with caution when combined with anticoagulants: increased bleeding potential.
  • Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Diclofenac may interact with several drug classes, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding.
  • Selective COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal and cardiovascular toxicity.
  • Lithium: potential rise in serum lithium concentrations.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in renal function.
  • Diuretics: may diminish renal clearance and increase nephrotoxicity.
  • Methotrexate: reduced elimination leading to higher systemic exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Motifene contains diclofenac sodium, an NSAID that is commonly prescribed to manage pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and short‑term acute pain following surgery or trauma.

Diclofenac sodium blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX‑1 and COX‑2), which are essential for producing prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin levels, it diminishes inflammation, lowers pain signals, and helps control fever.

The specific dose of Motifene is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, severity of symptoms, age, renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions precisely.

Safety data for diclofenac in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

Enquiries for Motifene can be submitted through the product page on gnhindia.com. Provide the required quantity and institutional details. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then replies with pricing, availability, shipping options and any necessary import documentation.

Motifene (diclofenac) offers potent anti‑inflammatory and analgesic effects comparable to ibuprofen or naproxen, but it may have a higher risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse events at equivalent doses. Choice of NSAID should consider individual risk factors, comorbidities and physician preference.

Motifene should be stored at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, and protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not store in a location where temperature may exceed the recommended range.

Motifene is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It may be taken with food or milk to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, unless the prescriber advises otherwise.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, severe liver injury, acute kidney failure, and rare but life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms like black stools, jaundice, sudden swelling, or severe rash.

Motifene is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other NSAIDs, active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, significant renal or hepatic impairment, and in patients who have experienced a recent myocardial infarction or stroke unless specifically directed by a physician.
