What is Cataflam?
Cataflam (diclofenac) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Diclofenac works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Cataflam is used to treat mild to moderate pain, or signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Cataflam is also used to treat menstrual cramps.
How should I take Cataflam?
Take Cataflam exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the directions on the label and read all medication guides. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Do not take this medicine in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Use the lowest dose that is effective in treating your condition.
For treatment of pain or primary dysmenorrhea
the recommended dosage of Cataflam is 50 mg three times daily. In some patients an initial dose of 100 mg of Cataflam, followed by 50 mg doses, may provide better relief.
For the relief of osteoarthritis:
recommended dosage is 100-150 mg/day in divided doses, i.e. 50 mg two or three times a day.
For the relief of rheumatoid arthritis
the recommended dosage is 150-200 mg/day in divided doses, i.e. 50 mg three or four times a day.
Different formulations of diclofenac, Voltaren (diclofenac sodium tablets) and Cataflam (diclofenac potassium immediate-release tablets) are not necessarily equivalent in strength even if the milligram strength is the same.
