Description

Cipla Reactin 100 SR is a sustained-release tablet containing diclofenac sodium (100 mg), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is primarily used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It works by inhibiting prostaglandins, which are substances responsible for causing pain and inflammation in the body.

This medication helps reduce joint stiffness, swelling, and improves mobility. It is also used for short-term relief in post-operative pain, dental pain, or sports injuries. Since it’s a sustained-release (SR) formulation, it provides long-lasting pain relief with just one dose per day.

Common side effects include:

• Gastric discomfort

• Nausea

• Heartburn

• Headache

• Dizziness

Serious side effects (though less common) may include:

• Stomach ulcers or bleeding

• Liver dysfunction

• Kidney problems

• Elevated blood pressure
