Diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets in 0.1g dosage form should be taken 1 capsule per day or as directed by your doctor.
Diclofenac sodium has many kinds of dosage forms (such as tablets, capsules, extended-release tablets, gels, etc.), and extended-release tablets, as a special type of dosage form, can prolong the release and absorption of the drug in the body for the purpose of prolonging the duration of the drug’s action and maintaining a more stable blood concentration.
Extended-release tablets can reduce the number and total amount of times the medication is taken compared to conventional tablets or capsules, resulting in increased adherence by the person taking the medication. The instructions state that the medication should be taken as 1 capsule per day or as directed by your doctor.
Diclofenac sodium, like most NSAIDs, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. The drug is more potent, with milder (and less probable) associated adverse effects and less individual variation in efficacy.
Common adverse reactions to diclofenac sodium include dizziness, itching, rash, and flu-like symptoms; it is contraindicated in allergic individuals and those undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Note that alcohol is not recommended for patients using diclofenac sodium.
Specific medication must be used under the guidance of the clinician, not for private use.
