Doctor’s Review

Dr. Hira Qazi, MBBS, FCPS – Internal Medicine
Dyclo Plus for patients with moderate pain and inflammation, especially in arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and dental pain. The combination of Diclofenac and Paracetamol provides both quick relief and sustained effect. However, cautious about stomach irritation and liver strain, particularly in patients who use it frequently or consume alcohol. For short-term pain relief, it is an effective and dependable option when taken under medical supervision.
