Indications & Clinical Uses

Diclofenac sodium acts on inflammatory pathways to relieve pain and swelling in several musculoskeletal disorders.

  • Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesia for acute or chronic pain conditions.
  • Osteoarthritis: reduces joint pain and inflammation, improving mobility.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: alleviates inflammatory symptoms and joint discomfort.
  • Acute musculoskeletal injury: helps control pain and swelling after sprains or strains.
  • Post‑operative pain: offers short‑term relief following surgical procedures when prescribed.

How It Works

  • Diclofenac sodium reversibly inhibits cyclo‑oxygenase‑1 and cyclo‑oxygenase‑2 enzymes, decreasing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. The reduced prostaglandin synthesis leads to diminished inflammation, pain signaling, and fever responses at the site of tissue injury.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may occur with diclofenac use and are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset.
  • Abdominal pain: discomfort or cramping.
  • Headache: transient tension‑type pain.
  • Dizziness: occasional light‑headedness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding: potentially life‑threatening.
  • Liver injury: elevated enzymes or hepatitis.
  • Renal impairment: reduced kidney function or failure.
  • Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.
  • Cardiovascular events: increased risk of thrombotic episodes.
  • Blood dyscrasias: agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing diclofenac, clinicians should evaluate patient‑specific risk factors and monitor for complications.

  • Assess renal function: monitor creatinine and adjust use in renal impairment.
  • Evaluate hepatic status: avoid in severe liver disease.
  • Use lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest period necessary.
  • Avoid in patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding.
  • Contraindicated in third‑trimester pregnancy: risk to fetus.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Diclofenac may interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding.
  • Lithium: heightened lithium toxicity.
  • Methotrexate: amplified methotrexate toxicity.
  • SSRIs or SNRIs: additive bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • ACE inhibitors: possible decline in renal function.
  • Diuretics: heightened risk of renal impairment.
  • Cyclosporine: increased nephrotoxicity potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Naklofen Duo contains diclofenac sodium, an NSAID prescribed for mild to moderate pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions. It helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with these disorders when used under medical supervision.

Diclofenac sodium blocks the cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, which are needed to produce prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it diminishes inflammation, pain signaling, and fever, providing relief in affected tissues.

The specific dose and dosing schedule for Naklofen Duo are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and renal or hepatic function. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety of diclofenac in pregnancy is not well established, and it is generally avoided in the third trimester due to potential fetal risks. Limited data exist for breastfeeding; the decision to use it should be made by a healthcare professional weighing benefits against possible risks.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Diclofenac sodium offers potent anti‑inflammatory and analgesic effects comparable to ibuprofen or naproxen, but its COX‑2 selectivity may provide slightly stronger pain relief for certain musculoskeletal conditions. Choice of NSAID depends on individual patient risk factors, tolerability, and physician preference.

Naklofen Duo should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the tablets away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight to maintain product stability throughout its shelf life.

Naklofen Duo is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should swallow the tablet whole and not crush or chew it unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, liver injury, renal impairment, severe hypersensitivity reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and increased cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. Patients should be monitored for these signs, especially with long‑term or high‑dose therapy.

Naklofen Duo is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding, severe heart failure, third‑trimester pregnancy, and patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment unless specifically advised by a physician.
