Olifen 50mg – Product Information

Description

Olifen 50mg has Diclofenac Sodium in it. This stuff blocks the things in your body that make you hurt and get swollen. When your joints are killing you or your back won’t stop aching, this medicine helps calm that down.

Precautions

Always eat something before you take this pill or drink milk with it. Your stomach will hurt if you don’t. Drink plenty of water unless your doctor said not to.

Don’t drink alcohol with this. It’ll mess up your stomach even worse. Be careful if you’ve had ulcers before, stomach bleeding, or if your liver or kidneys don’t work right. Same thing if you have heart problems.

Old people and folks who take this for months need blood tests to make sure their liver and kidneys are okay. Don’t give your pills to other people.

• Head hurts or feel dizzy

• Feet and legs get puffy
• Ulcers or bleeding in your stomach (doesn’t happen much but it’s bad)
• Liver or kidney problems if you take it too long

Stop taking it and call your doctor right away if your stomach really hurts, your poop is black, you throw up blood, or you feel really weak.

Don’t take Olifen if:

• It makes you sick or aspirin and pain pills make you sick

• Your rectum is inflamed

How to Use

Swallow the whole pill with water after you eat something. Don’t break it up or chew it. Only take what your doctor told you to take.

Doctor’s Overview — Dr. Imran Saleem, MBBS, FCPS

Diclofenac is commonly used for arthritis and muscle pain. It helps reduce pain and swelling so patients can move more easily. For long-term use, extra care is needed, especially in older patients or those with stomach, liver, or kidney problems. In such cases, doctors usually recommend blood tests to make sure the medicine remains safe. When used properly and under medical supervision, Diclofenac is a dependable option for managing pain and inflammation.
