Reactin 50mg Tablet – Diclofenac 50mg

Reactin 50mg Tablet contains diclofenac 50mg, an NSAID with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It works primarily by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins involved in pain, inflammation, and fever.

Diclofenac may be prescribed for various painful and inflammatory conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, acute injuries, and other conditions where an NSAID is considered appropriate.

It should generally be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest appropriate duration, particularly because NSAIDs can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, kidney problems, and other adverse effects.

Prescription requirements may vary by country and formulation.

Product Information

Uses

Diclofenac may be used for relief of pain and inflammation associated with:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Musculoskeletal pain
• Sprains and strains
• Acute inflammatory conditions
• Joint and soft-tissue pain
• Other conditions requiring NSAID treatment

How It Works

Diclofenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing the formation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever, so reducing their production can decrease these symptoms.

Dosage & Administration

The appropriate dose depends on the patient’s condition, age, medical history, other medicines, and the specific diclofenac formulation.

Take Reactin 50mg exactly as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended dose or use it for longer than advised.

If the formulation permits, taking diclofenac with food or milk may help reduce stomach discomfort.
