Flexodene 20 mg, which contains diclofenac, is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It's effective for conditions such as arthritis and muscle pain. The medication works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation.
Precautions for using Flexodene include avoiding it if you have a history of gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular problems, or kidney conditions. Alcohol consumption should be limited, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before use. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely.
To use Flexodene, take it orally with food to minimize stomach irritation. Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water, and do not crush or chew them. Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage and avoid taking more than directed to prevent adverse effects.
Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. More severe risks involve gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney problems, and cardiovascular issues. If you experience severe symptoms such as black or bloody stools or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
