Pofen 50mg Tablet

Pofen 50mg Tablet is a tablet made by Fozan that contains Diclofenac Potassium 50mg, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used for acute pain, migraine attacks, period pain, dental pain, sprains, back pain and arthritis. Pack size: 2×10 tablets.

Uses of Pofen 50mg Tablet

Pofen 50mg Tablet is a fast-acting form of diclofenac, so it is often chosen when quick relief is needed. It is used for acute pain such as toothache, period pain, sprains and strains, pain after minor surgery and migraine attacks, as well as for pain and stiffness in arthritis.

How Pofen 50mg Tablet works

Diclofenac blocks the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that the body uses to make prostaglandins. Prostaglandins cause pain, swelling and inflammation, so lowering them reduces all three. Delayed-release and sustained-release forms release the medicine slowly for longer relief.

Possible side effects

Like other NSAIDs, Pofen 50mg Tablet can cause side effects. The more common ones include:

• Indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Headache or dizziness
• Mild skin rash

Stop taking it and see a doctor urgently if you pass black or bloody stools, vomit blood, have chest pain, or develop swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it with or after food to reduce stomach upset.
• Tell your doctor if you have, or have had, a stomach ulcer, stomach bleeding, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney or liver problems.
• Do not take it together with other painkillers of the same type (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin unless your doctor advises it.
• Avoid it in the last three months of pregnancy, and ask your doctor before using it at any other stage of pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
