Diclofenac 25mg Suppositories
SKU GME136
Product Introduction
Diclofenac 25mg is a rectal NSAID suppository used for pain and inflammation for rectal treatment, such as when swallowing medicine is difficult or after certain procedures. Diclofenac reduces prostaglandin production, helping relieve pain, swelling, stiffness, and feverish inflammatory discomfort. Suppositories avoid swallowing tablets but they do not remove NSAID risks.
How to use
Use Diclofenac 25mg rectally as prescribed, ideally after bowel movement. Wash hands before and after use. Do not swallow the suppository. Avoid using with other NSAIDs unless the prescriber confirms it is safe.
How it works
Diclofenac inhibits COX enzymes, reducing prostaglandins that drive pain, inflammation, swelling, and fever.
Common side effects
Possible effects include rectal irritation, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, indigestion, dizziness, headache, rash, and fluid retention. Serious warning signs include black stools, vomiting blood, chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe wheezing, reduced urination, severe rash, or allergic swelling.
Important information
Review use in stomach ulcer or bleeding history, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, kidney/liver disease, asthma sensitive to NSAIDs, inflammatory bowel disease, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, steroids, SSRIs/SNRIs, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
Uses
Pain and inflammation for rectal diclofenac treatment, including postoperative pain, musculoskeletal pain, arthritis flare pain, or feverish inflammatory discomfort when prescribed.
Benefits
Provides NSAID pain relief through a rectal route for patients who need rectal dosing, while still allowing systemic anti-inflammatory effect.
