Description

Diclocain (Diclofenac, Lidocaine) Solution for Injections Ampoules 2 ml. №10

Ingredients

Active ingredients: Diclofenac, Lidocaine.

Mechanism of Action

Diclocain combines the anti-inflammatory properties of diclofenac with the local anesthetic effects of lidocaine. Diclofenac inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thus reducing inflammation and pain. Lidocaine acts by stabilizing neuronal membranes and inhibiting the influx of sodium ions, thereby blocking nerve conduction and providing local anesthesia.

Pharmacological Properties

Diclocain exerts analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and local anesthetic effects. Diclofenac belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) while lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic.

Indications for Use

Indications: Diclocain is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions, postoperative pain, and other conditions requiring analgesia and anti-inflammatory therapy.

Contraindications

Contraindications: Do not use Diclocain if you are allergic to diclofenac, lidocaine, or any other components of the product. Avoid use in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to NSAIDs or local anesthetics.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Diclocain may include irritation, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Serious side effects such as allergic reactions or systemic toxicity are rare but should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

Usage Instructions

Dosage: The dosage of Diclocain should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. It is essential not to exceed the recommended dose to minimize the risk of adverse effects.

Method of Administration: Diclocain is administered via injection into the affected area or as directed by a healthcare provider. The injection technique and site should be chosen carefully to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Benefits Compared to Analogues

Diclocain offers the advantage of combining the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of diclofenac with the rapid onset of action provided by lidocaine. This dual mechanism of action allows for effective pain relief and inflammation control, making Diclocain a versatile and valuable therapeutic option.
