How It Works

Ostico inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-1 and COX-2, which produce prostaglandins responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking prostaglandin synthesis, Diclofenac Potassium reduces inflammatory responses and pain signals, providing effective symptom relief.

Dosage

Take Ostico with food or milk to reduce stomach irritation. Swallow whole with a full glass of water. Space doses evenly throughout the day.

Duration of Action

Ostico begins working within 30-60 minutes of administration. Peak pain relief occurs at 1-2 hours and lasts for 4-6 hours. For chronic conditions, consistent daily dosing provides optimal anti-inflammatory effects. Maximum benefits may take several days of regular use.

Side Effects

Common side effects include stomach upset, nausea, heartburn, and mild dizziness. Some patients experience drowsiness, headache, or skin reactions. Serious side effects include stomach ulcers, kidney problems, or cardiovascular events with long-term use. Most side effects are dose-related and reversible.

Warning

Ostico Tablet may increase risk of serious cardiovascular events, heart attack, and stroke. It can cause stomach ulcers, bleeding, and perforation, which may be fatal. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration. Not recommended for patients with recent heart surgery or active peptic ulcer disease.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Avoid Ostico during the third trimester as it may cause premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus. Use during first and second trimesters only if benefits outweigh risks. Small amounts pass into breast milk. Consult healthcare provider before use while breastfeeding.
