Artimov K Tablets 50mg

Used For:

Potassium diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It is commonly prescribed to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute musculoskeletal disorders like sprains and strains.

Side Effects:

 Side effects of potassium diclofenac are similar to other NSAIDs and may include gastrointestinal discomfort such as stomach pain, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation. Some individuals may experience dizziness, headache, drowsiness, or skin rash. In rare cases, more severe side effects like gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney problems, or allergic reactions can occur. Long-term use or high doses of diclofenac may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke.

Precautions:

 It's essential to take certain precautions when using Artimov K or any medication containing potassium diclofenac. This includes informing your healthcare provider if you have a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, kidney problems, heart disease, high blood pressure, or asthma. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking potassium diclofenac, as it can increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Long-term use of NSAIDs should be monitored by a healthcare professional, especially in older adults. Also, avoid using diclofenac during the third trimester of pregnancy, as it may harm the unborn baby.

Always follow your doctor's instructions and dosing recommendations carefully when using Artimov K or any NSAID, and report any adverse reactions or concerns to your healthcare provider.
