INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2014.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Diclofenac has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, analgesic and antipyretic effects.
Indiscriminately inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1 and 2, disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid, reduces the amount of prostaglandins in the inflammatory focus. In rheumatic diseases, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of diclofenac significantly reduces the severity of pain, morning stiffness, swelling of the joints, which improves the functional state of the joint. In injuries, in the postoperative period, diclofenac reduces pain and inflammatory edema. Like all NSAIDs, the drug has anti-aggregative activity.
PHARMACOKINETICS

Absorption is fast and complete, food slows the absorption rate by 1-4 h and reduces C max of diclofenac in plasma by 40%.
After oral administration, 25 mg C max - 1.0 Ојg / ml is achieved after - 2-3 hours. The concentration in the plasma is linear depending on the amount of the administered dose.
Changes in the pharmacokinetics of diclofenac against a background of repeated administration are not noted, diclofenac does not accumulate.

Bioavailability - 50%.
The connection with plasma proteins is more than 99% (most of it is associated with albumins). Penetrates into the synovial fluid; C max in synovial fluid is observed 2-4 hours later than in plasma. T 1/2 from the synovial fluid 3-6 hours (the concentration of active substance in the synovial fluid 4-6 hours after the administration of the drug is higher than in the plasma, and remains higher for another 12 hours). The relationship between diclofenac concentration in synovial fluid and its clinical efficacy has not been elucidated.
Metabolism : 50% of the active substance is metabolized during the "first pass" through the liver.
Metabolism occurs as a result of multiple or one-time hydroxylation and conjugation with glucuronic acid. The isozyme CYP2C9 is involved in the metabolism of the drug. The pharmacological activity of metabolites is lower than that of diclofenac. The system clearance is 350 ml / min, V d - 550 ml / kg. T 1/2 from the plasma - 2 h. 65% of the administered dose is excreted as metabolites by the kidneys; less than 1% is unchanged, the rest of the dose is excreted as metabolites with bile.
In patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 10 ml / min), the excretion of metabolites with bile is increased, while there is no increase in their concentration in the blood.

In patients with chronic hepatitis or compensated cirrhosis, the pharmacokinetic parameters of diclofenac do not change.
Diclofenac penetrates into breast milk.

DOSING MODE

Inside.

To achieve a quick desired therapeutic effect take 30 minutes before meals.
In other cases, take before, during or after a meal, in an undigested form, with plenty of water. Adults and adolescents with 15 years of age - 25-50 mg 2-3 times a day.

In patients with hepatic insufficiency (chronic hepatitis, compensated cirrhosis), the kinetics and metabolism do not differ from similar processes in patients with normal liver function.
When performing long-term therapy, it is necessary to monitor liver function, the picture of peripheral blood, the analysis of feces for latent blood.
During the treatment period, it is possible to reduce the speed of mental and motor reactions, so it is necessary to refrain from driving motor vehicles and practicing other potentially dangerous activities that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Symptoms: vomiting, dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, confusion, in children - myoclonic cramps, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bleeding, dysfunction of the liver and kidneys.

Treatment: gastric lavage, the introduction of activated charcoal, symptomatic therapy aimed at eliminating the increase in blood pressure, impaired renal function, seizures, irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory depression.
Forced diuresis, hemodialysis are ineffective.
DRUG INTERACTION

Increases the concentration in the plasma digoxin, methotrexate, lithium and cyclosporine.

Reduces the effect of diuretics, against the background of potassium-sparing diuretics increases the risk of hyperkalemia;
against the background of anticoagulants, thrombolytic agents (alteplase, streptokinase, urokinase) - the risk of bleeding (more often from the gastrointestinal tract).
Reduces the effects of hypotensive and hypnotics.

Increases the likelihood of side effects of other NSAIDs and glucocorticosteroids (bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract), toxicity of methotrexate and nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine.

Acetylsalicylic acid reduces the concentration of diclofenac in the blood.
Simultaneous use with paracetamol increases the risk of developing nephrotoxic effects of diclofenac.
Reduces the effect of hypoglycemic agents.

Cefamandol, cefoperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid and plikamycin increase the incidence of hypoprothrombinemia.

Cyclosporine and gold preparations increase the effect of diclofenac on the synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidneys, which increases nephrotoxicity.

Simultaneous use with ethanol, colchicine, corticotropin and preparations of St. John's wort increases the risk of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.

Diclofenac enhances the effect of drugs that cause photosensitivity.
Drugs that block tubular secretion, increase the concentration in the plasma of diclofenac, thereby increasing its toxicity.
Antibacterial drugs from the quinolone group - the risk of seizures.
