Designed with innovative SR technology, this medication provides targeted, long-lasting pain and inflammation relief through a carefully engineered sustained-release formulation.
Uses
Clofenac SR 100mg Tablet effectively addresses multiple pain and inflammatory conditions. It is specifically indicated for treating chronic pain conditions, acute pain scenarios, post-operative discomfort, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout attacks, and migraine headaches.

How It Works
Diclofenac operates by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for prostaglandin production. By systematically reducing prostaglandin generation, the medication effectively decreases pain, fever, and inflammation. The sustained-release formulation ensures gradual medication release, maintaining consistent therapeutic levels over an extended period.

- Recommended consumption with food
- Follow healthcare provider’s specific instructions
- Do not exceed prescribed dosing
- Individualized dosing may vary based on specific conditions
Duration of Action
Clofenac SR provides sustained pain relief with peak therapeutic effects typically observed within 2-4 hours of administration. The sustained-release mechanism maintains consistent medication levels, offering prolonged symptom management throughout the day.
Side Effects
Potential side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, dizziness, and skin rash. More serious complications may involve gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, or liver and kidney problems. Patients should immediately report any severe or persistent symptoms to their healthcare provider.
Warning
Long-term NSAID use carries potential risks of serious cardiovascular and gastrointestinal complications. Patients should use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. The medication is not recommended for individuals with ulcer histories or bleeding disorders and requires cautious use in elderly patients or those with pre-existing heart, liver, or kidney conditions.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals must consult healthcare professionals before using Clofenac SR. Potential risks and benefits require careful individual assessment.
