Diagesic Plus 100 mg is a combination pain-relief medication commonly used to treat moderate to severe pain. It typically contains two main active ingredients: Diclofenac Sodium and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen).

Here’s a breakdown of the medication:

Active Ingredients:

1. Diclofenac Sodium (100 mg):
   • Class: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
   • Function: Reduces pain, inflammation, and swelling by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for pain and inflammation in the body.
2. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen):
   • Function: Acts as a pain reliever and fever reducer by influencing the brain’s pain and temperature-regulating center.

Key Uses of Diagesic Plus 100 mg:

• Pain Relief: Effective in treating a variety of conditions such as headaches, back pain, joint pain, menstrual cramps, toothache, and musculoskeletal disorders.
• Anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammation in conditions like arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory disorders.

Dosage and Administration:

• Typically taken orally, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• The dosage depends on the severity of the condition and the patient’s response to treatment.
• It’s usually taken with food to reduce stomach irritation, a common side effect of NSAIDs like diclofenac.

Possible Side Effects:

• Nausea
• Stomach pain or upset
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Dizziness
• Increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding (especially in prolonged use of diclofenac)

Precautions:

• Avoid if you have a history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs or paracetamol.
• People with liver, kidney, or gastrointestinal issues should use this medicine with caution.
• Long-term or excessive use can lead to liver damage (due to paracetamol) or stomach issues (due to diclofenac).
• Regular monitoring of liver and kidney function is recommended for those on prolonged treatment.

This medication is commonly prescribed for pain relief, but patients should use it under the supervision of a healthcare provider to avoid potential side effects or complications.
