How It Works

Kemal Tablet works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins. These compounds cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking their production, Diclofenac reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and lowers body temperature effectively.

Dosage

Take Kemal Tablet with food or milk to reduce stomach irritation. Swallow whole, do not crush or chew extended-release tablets.

Duration of Action

Kemal Tablet begins working within 30-60 minutes of administration. Peak pain relief occurs within 2-3 hours and lasts 8-12 hours due to its extended-release formulation. For chronic conditions, maximum benefits may require 2-3 weeks of regular use.

Side Effects

Common side effects include stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, and dizziness. Some patients experience headache, drowsiness, or mild skin reactions. Serious side effects may include stomach bleeding, kidney problems, or cardiovascular events, particularly with long-term use or high doses.

Warning

Kemal Tablet increases risk of serious cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke. Risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulceration is elevated, especially in elderly patients. Not recommended for patients with recent heart surgery. Use lowest effective dose for shortest duration necessary.
