Diclotal Injection is used for short-term relief of severe pain and inflammation, including migraines, muscle strains, arthritis flare-ups, renal and biliary colic, post-operative pain and painful periods.

Uses of Diclotal Injection are:

• Migraine and Headache: Gives short-term relief from severe headaches, including migraines.
• Muscle and Joint Pain: Eases muscle strains, sprains, and pain flare-ups in arthritis, gout and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Colic and Post-Operative Pain: Relieves renal and biliary colic and pain after surgery or injury.
• Painful Periods: Helps manage dysmenorrhoea, or painful menstruation.

• This medicine is to be administered by a healthcare professional only.

• It can be injected deep into the gluteal muscle (in the buttock area), under the skin (subcutaneously), or directly into a vein (intravenously).

Diclotal Injection 3ml is administered either intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously.

Diclotal Injection 3ml contains Diclofenac (25 mg), which has the following mechanism of action:

• Inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis: Diclofenac blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for creating prostaglandins - lipid compounds that mediate pain, inflammation and fever.

• Analgesic Effect: By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, diclofenac effectively decreases pain signals at sites of injury or inflammation.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effect: The reduction in prostaglandin synthesis also decreases capillary dilation and permeability at inflamed sites.

• Antipyretic Effect: Diclofenac can help manage fever symptoms by inhibiting the production of fever-inducing prostaglandins.

• Keep it away from light to prevent degradation.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze the medicine, as extreme temperatures can affect its potency.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

• Intake a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and walnuts, as they are known to reduce inflammation.

• Regular gentle exercises such as stretching, walking, and swimming can help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness associated with conditions like osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
