RATODIC P

About

RATODIC P is a combination medication typically containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen). The NSAID component, often Diclofenac or a similar agent, works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever. Paracetamol, on the other hand, primarily acts in the central nervous system to elevate the pain threshold and reduce fever, with minimal anti-inflammatory effects.

This synergistic combination provides comprehensive relief from various types of pain and inflammation. It is particularly effective in conditions where both inflammatory and non-inflammatory pain components are present. The dual mechanism of action allows for potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a suitable choice for managing acute and chronic painful conditions, while potentially allowing for lower doses of each individual component, thereby reducing the risk of side effects associated with higher monotherapy doses.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid alcohol consumption as it significantly increases the risk of liver damage (due to Paracetamol) and gastrointestinal bleeding (due to NSAID).
• Pregnancy - Generally not recommended, especially in the third trimester, due to potential risks to the fetus (NSAID component). Consult your doctor.
• Breastfeeding - Use with caution and only if clearly necessary. Both components can pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor.
• Liver - Use with extreme caution in patients with liver disease. Paracetamol can cause hepatotoxicity, and NSAIDs can also affect liver function. Monitor liver enzymes.
• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment. NSAIDs can worsen kidney function, especially with prolonged use. Monitor renal function closely.
• Lung - Use with caution in patients with asthma or other respiratory conditions, as NSAIDs can sometimes trigger bronchospasm.
