Description

Accred 50mg Tablets contain Diclofenac Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for pain relief and reducing inflammation. Diclofenac works by inhibiting enzymes responsible for causing pain and swelling in the body. This medication is effective in treating various conditions, including arthritis, muscle pain, and other inflammatory disorders. Accred 50mg is commonly prescribed for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gout, among others. It helps alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve mobility for those affected by these conditions.

Functions

Accred 50mg Tablets provide relief from pain and inflammation associated with a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Some of the key functions of Diclofenac Sodium include:

• Pain relief: It reduces pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout.
• Anti-inflammatory: Diclofenac decreases inflammation in the body, helping to relieve swelling and stiffness, particularly in the joints.
• Fever reduction: It also has mild antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects.
• Improved mobility: By reducing pain and inflammation, Accred can help patients regain some of the movement and flexibility lost due to inflammatory joint conditions.

Precautions

Before taking Accred 50mg Tablets, inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

• Gastric issues: If you have a history of gastric ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or other stomach-related conditions.
• Liver or kidney disease: Caution is needed if you have impaired liver or kidney function. Your doctor may monitor your liver and kidney function during treatment.
• Cardiac issues: Patients with heart disease or high blood pressure should take Accred with caution.
• Pregnancy and lactation: This medication should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if absolutely necessary, and under a doctor's supervision.
• Prolonged use: Long-term use of NSAIDs like Diclofenac may require regular monitoring of liver and kidney functions.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and avoid self-medication, especially in the case of pre-existing medical conditions.

Cautions

When using Accred 50mg Tablets, keep the following precautions in mind:

• Driving: This medication can cause dizziness or drowsiness in some individuals. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel affected.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as Diclofenac is not typically recommended during these times unless advised by a doctor.
• Long-term use: Prolonged use of Diclofenac may increase the risk of heart, liver, or kidney complications, especially in elderly patients or those with pre-existing conditions. Regular monitoring may be necessary.
