Adults

Injected deep into the / m. A single dose is 75 mg. If necessary, re-introduction is possible, but not earlier than after 12 hours.

The duration of use is no more than 2 days, if necessary, then they switch to oral or rectal use of diclofenac.

In severe cases (for example, with colic), as an exception, 2 injections of 75 mg can be given, with an interval of several hours (the second injection should be carried out in the opposite gluteal region). Alternatively, i / m administration 1 time / day (75 mg) can be combined with diclofenac in other dosage forms (tablets, rectal suppositories), while the total daily dose should not exceed 150 mg.

In migraine attacks, it is recommended to administer diclofenac as soon as possible after the onset of the attack, intramuscularly at a dose of 75 mg, followed by the use of suppositories at a dose of up to 100 mg on the same day, if required. The total daily dose should not exceed 175 mg on the first day.

Elderly patients (65 years and older) do not need to adjust the initial dose. In debilitated patients, patients with low body weight, it is recommended to adhere to the minimum dose.

The drug should be used with extreme caution in patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system (including those with uncontrolled arterial hypertension) or a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. If long-term therapy is necessary (more than 4 weeks) in such patients, the drug should be used in a daily dose not exceeding 100 mg.

Children and adolescents under 18 years of age

Diclofenac should not be used intramuscularly in children and adolescents under 18 years of age due to the difficulty of dosing the drug.

pharmachologic effect

NSAIDs, a derivative of phenylacetic acid. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic and moderate antipyretic effect. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of the activity of COX, the main enzyme of the metabolism of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor of prostaglandins, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever. The analgesic effect is due to two mechanisms: peripheral (indirectly, through suppression of prostaglandin synthesis) and central (due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system).

In vitro, at concentrations equivalent to those achieved in the treatment of patients, does not inhibit the biosynthesis of proteoglycans in cartilage tissue.

In rheumatic diseases, it reduces joint pain at rest and during movement, as well as morning stiffness and swelling of the joints, and helps to increase the range of motion. Reduces post-traumatic and postoperative pain and inflammatory edema.

In case of post-traumatic and postoperative inflammatory events, it quickly relieves pain (arising both at rest and during movement), reduces inflammatory edema and edema of a postoperative wound.

Suppresses platelet aggregation. With prolonged use, it has a desensitizing effect.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

There is insufficient data on the safety of using diclofenac in pregnant women. Therefore, the appointment in the I and II trimesters of pregnancy is possible only in cases where the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Diclofenac (like other inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis) is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy (suppression of uterine contractility and premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus is possible).

Despite the fact that diclofenac is excreted in breast milk in small quantities, use during lactation (breastfeeding) is not recommended. If necessary, use during lactation, breastfeeding should be discontinued.

Since diclofenac (like other NSAIDs) can have a negative effect on fertility, it is not recommended for women planning pregnancy.

For patients undergoing examination and treatment for infertility, the drug should be canceled.

Application for violations of liver function

Use with extreme caution in case of liver disease in history.

Application for impaired renal function

Use with extreme caution in case of a history of kidney disease.

Use in elderly patients

Use with extreme caution in elderly patients.

special instructions

It is used with extreme caution in case of liver, kidney, gastrointestinal tract diseases in history, dyspeptic symptoms, bronchial asthma, arterial hypertension, heart failure, immediately after serious surgical interventions, as well as in elderly patients.

If there is a history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs and sulfites, diclofenac is used only in urgent cases. In the course of treatment, systematic monitoring of the function of the liver and kidneys, and the picture of peripheral blood is necessary.

Rectal administration is not recommended in patients with a history of anorectal disease or anorectal bleeding. Externally should be used only on intact skin areas.

Avoid getting diclofenac in the eyes (with the exception of eye drops) or on mucous membranes. Patients using contact lenses should apply eye drops no earlier than 5 minutes after removing the lenses.

Not recommended for use in children under 6 years of age.

During the period of treatment with dosage forms for systemic use, alcohol is not recommended.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms

During the treatment period, a decrease in the speed of psychomotor reactions is possible. If the clarity of vision deteriorates after using the eye drops, do not drive or engage in other potentially hazardous activities.

Drug interactions

Potent inhibitors of CYP2C9 - when diclofenac and potent inhibitors of CYP2C9 (such as voriconazole) are coadministered, it is possible to increase the concentration of diclofenac in the blood serum and increase the systemic effect caused by inhibition of the metabolism of diclofenac.

Lithium, digoxin - it is possible to increase the concentration of lithium and digoxin in the plasma curve. Monitoring of the concentration of lithium, digoxin in the blood serum is recommended.

Diuretics and antihypertensive drugs - when used simultaneously with diuretics and antihypertensive drugs (for example, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors), diclofenac can reduce their hypotensive effect.

Cyclosporine - The effect of diclofenac on the activity of prostate glandins in the kidneys may increase the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine.

Drugs that can cause hyperkalemia - the combined use of diclofenac with potassium-sparing diuretics, cyclosporine, tacrolimus and trimethoprim can lead to an increase in the level of potassium in the blood plasma (in the case of such a combination, this indicator should be monitored frequently).

Antibacterial agents quinolone derivatives - there are separate reports of the development of seizures in patients who received both quinolone derivatives and diclofecac.

NSAIDs and GCS - with the simultaneous systemic use of diclofenac and other systemic NSAIDs or GCS can increase the incidence of adverse events (in particular, from the gastrointestinal tract).

Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents - an increase in the risk of bleeding cannot be excluded with the simultaneous use of diclofenac and with drugs of these groups.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Hypoglycemic drugs - cases of both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia cannot be excluded, which necessitated a change in the dose of hypoglycemic drugs against the background of the use of diclofenac.

Methotrexate - when using diclofenac within 24 hours before or within 24 hours after taking methotrexate, it is possible to increase the concentration of methotrexate in the blood and increase its toxic effect.

Phenytoin - Possible enhancement of phenytoin action.
