NACOREN-FORTE 10

About

NACOREN-FORTE contains Diclofenac, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used for its strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It primarily works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are key mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever in the body. By reducing their production, Diclofenac effectively alleviates symptoms associated with various inflammatory and painful conditions.

The 'Forte' designation typically indicates a higher strength formulation, designed to provide more pronounced relief for moderate to severe pain and inflammation. It is particularly effective in managing conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout, and various musculoskeletal injuries. Its efficacy in reducing swelling, stiffness, and pain makes it a valuable option for improving mobility and quality of life for patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases or acute painful episodes. However, like all NSAIDs, it should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid alcohol consumption as it significantly increases the risk of gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding when taken with Diclofenac.
• Pregnancy - Not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to potential risks to the fetus (e.g., premature closure of ductus arteriosus) and complications during delivery. Consult your doctor.
• Breastfeeding - Diclofenac passes into breast milk in small amounts. Use with caution and only if clearly necessary, under medical supervision.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment. Diclofenac can cause liver enzyme elevations and, rarely, severe hepatotoxicity. Monitor liver function closely.
• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment. NSAIDs can worsen kidney function, especially with prolonged use or in dehydrated patients. Monitor renal function closely.
• Lung - Use with caution in patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as NSAIDs can sometimes trigger bronchospasm or exacerbate symptoms.
