How to use plasters and patches Direct sunlight or artificial sun should be avoided during treatment and two weeks after treatment to avoid the risk of photosensitivity. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may adversely affect the pregnancy and/or the embryo/fetal development. Data from epidemiological studies suggest an increased risk of miscarriage and of cardiac malformation and gastroschisis after use of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor in early pregnancy. The absolute risk for cardiovascular malformation was increased from less than 1%, up to approximately 1.5 %. The risk is believed to increase with dose and duration of therapy. In animals, administration of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor has been shown to result in increased pre-and post-implantation loss and embryo-fetal lethality. In addition, increased incidences of various malformations, including cardiovascular, have been reported in animals given a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor during the organogenetic period.

The possibility of systemic undesirable effects from application of topical diclofenac cannot be excluded if the preparation is used on large areas of skin and over a prolonged period. The gel should therefore be used with caution by patients with reduced renal function, reduced heart function or reduced liver function as well as patients with active peptic ulcers in the stomach or duodenum. In animal studies on reproductive toxicity, systemically administered diclofenac caused inhibition of ovulation in rabbits and impairment of implantation and early embryonic development in rats. Gestation and duration of parturition were prolonged by diclofenac. The embryotoxic potential of diclofenac was investigated in three animal species (rat, mouse, rabbit). Fetal death and growth retardation occurred at materno-toxic dose levels. Based on the available non-clinical data, diclofenac is regarded as being non-teratogenic. Doses below the maternotoxic threshold had no impact on the postnatal development of the offspring. antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, nalidixic acid, norfloxacin or ofloxacin

5. Taking diclofenac with other painkillers

You're less likely to have side effects with diclofenac gel or plasters. This is because less medicine gets into your body. But you may still get the same side effects, especially if you use a lot on a large area of skin. If you have pain all the time, your doctor may recommend slow-release diclofenac tablets or capsules. You'll usually take these either once a day in the evening, or twice a day. If you're taking slow-release diclofenac twice a day, leave a gap of 10 to 12 hours between your doses. How to take tablets and capsules The maximum daily dose is 16 g of gel corresponding to 185.6 mg of diclofenac, diethylamine salt (corresponding to 160 mg diclofenac sodium). There are insufficient data on efficacy and safety in children and adolescents under 14 years of age (see section 4.3). Common side effects of diclofenac tablets, capsules and suppositories happen in more than 1 in 100 people.

Like all medicines, diclofenac can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Common side effects Put the gel on the painful or swollen area and slowly rub it in. It may feel cool on your skin. Wash your hands afterwards.Based on conventional studies on safety pharmacology, genotoxicty and carcinogenic potential, the preclinical data do not reveal any specific hazards for humans, apart from those already described in other sections of the SPC. In animal studies, the chronic toxicity of diclofenac following systemic application mainly manifested as gastrointestinal lesions and ulcers. In a 2-year toxicity study, a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of thrombosis of the heart was observed in diclofenac-treated rats. Always follow the advice of a pharmacist or doctor, and the instructions that come with your medicine. Diclofenac tablets, capsules and suppositories Dosage Diclofenac gel is suitable for children aged 14 and above. Diclofenac plasters and patches are suitable for young people aged 16 and above.
