DUFEN SR

Product Description:

Dufen SR contains Aceclofenac in a Sustained Release formulation, designed to release the medicine slowly over an extended period for long-lasting pain relief. This helps maintain stable drug levels in the body, reducing the need for frequent dosing. It is prescribed for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and persistent back pain.

Key Benefits:

• Sustained release formula provides prolonged pain relief with fewer doses needed
• Reduces inflammation and pain in joints affected by arthritis
• Maintains more consistent drug levels in the blood for better overall pain management
• Reduces the frequency of dosing compared to standard Aceclofenac tablets, improving patient comfort

How It Works:

Aceclofenac inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins ? chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. In the SR formulation, the drug is released gradually from the tablet matrix, providing a longer window of pain relief. This helps patients with chronic pain conditions maintain comfort throughout the day.

Dosage & Administration:

• Take Dufen SR exactly as prescribed by your doctor ? do not break, crush, or chew the tablet, as this destroys the sustained release mechanism
• Complete the full prescribed course even if pain subsides, to prevent recurrence of inflammation
• Take with food or milk to minimise the chance of stomach irritation

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor of any allergy to NSAIDs or Aceclofenac before taking this medicine
• Use with caution in patients with a history of stomach ulcers, liver disease, or kidney problems
• Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision, as long-term NSAID use can affect kidney and cardiovascular health

Possible Side Effects:

• Nausea, stomach pain, or indigestion
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Headache or dizziness
• Elevated liver enzymes with prolonged use (rare)

(Check with your Doctor if any of these side effects persist or worry you.)

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not remove tablets from the blister pack until ready to use
