Triclogesic Tablet

Introduction

Triclogesic is a prescription medication that combines four active ingredients: Trypsin, Bromelain, Rutoside, and Diclofenac. It is commonly used to treat inflammation and pain associated with various conditions, such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and post-operative swelling.

Uses

Triclogesic is prescribed to alleviate inflammation and pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. It is also used to reduce swelling and pain after surgical procedures or injuries, including sprains and strains.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Triclogesic may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The tablets are typically taken orally with water, preferably after meals. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it.

Mechanism of Action

Triclogesic contains a combination of active ingredients that work together to provide relief from inflammation and pain. Trypsin and Bromelain are enzymes that help in reducing swelling by breaking down proteins. Rutoside is a flavonoid that improves blood circulation and reduces capillary fragility. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, and diarrhea. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional. Serious side effects, although rare, may include allergic reactions, severe abdominal pain, bleeding, or signs of liver or kidney problems. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Triclogesic may interact with certain medications, including blood-thinning drugs (such as warfarin), other NSAIDs, and certain antidepressants. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products, to avoid potential drug interactions.

This medication may not be suitable for individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or kidney or liver problems. Follow your healthcare professional’s instructions regarding the use of this medication and to avoid alcohol consumption while taking Triclogesic.
