Diclofam Sp Tablet 10: Uses, Side Effects, Price & Substitutes

About Diclofam Sp Tablet 10

Diclofam SP Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, sports injuries, acute trauma, and surgical or dental procedures. It also helps relieve muscle stiffness and tissue swelling.

It contains diclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine) and serratiopeptidase (an enzyme that helps break down swelling and fluid at injury sites). Take this tablet whole with food as prescribed to protect your stomach lining. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

Applying ice or heat packs, getting adequate rest, maintaining elevated limb posture during acute injury, and gentle physiotherapy can support joint and muscle recovery.

Tell your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, or liver or kidney disorders before taking this medicine. Do not combine it with other pain-relieving NSAIDs. It is not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy.
