Trước khi sử dụng Voltaren

Khi quyết định sử dụng thuốc, rủi ro của việc dùng thuốc phải được cân nhắc với lợi ích mà nó sẽ làm. Đây là một quyết định mà bạn và bác sĩ của bạn sẽ đưa ra. Đối với thuốc này, cần xem xét những điều sau đây:

Dị ứng

Hãy cho bác sĩ của bạn nếu bạn đã từng có bất kỳ phản ứng bất thường hoặc dị ứng với thuốc này hoặc bất kỳ loại thuốc khác.

Các nghiên cứu thích hợp đã không được thực hiện về mối quan hệ của tuổi tác với tác dụng của gel bôi ngoài da diclofenac , miếng dán hoặc dung dịch ở trẻ em và hệ thống thuốc bôi diclofenac ở trẻ em dưới 6 tuổi. An toàn và hiệu quả chưa được thành lập.

Lão

Các nghiên cứu phù hợp được thực hiện cho đến nay đã không chứng minh được các vấn đề cụ thể về lão khoa sẽ hạn chế tính hữu ích của thuốc diclofenac ở người cao tuổi. Tuy nhiên, bệnh nhân cao tuổi có nhiều khả năng mắc các vấn đề về thận, tim hoặc dạ dày do tuổi tác, điều này có thể cần thận trọng và điều chỉnh liều cho bệnh nhân dùng thuốc diclofenac.

Mặc dù một số loại thuốc không nên được sử dụng cùng nhau, trong các trường hợp khác, hai loại thuốc khác nhau có thể được sử dụng cùng nhau ngay cả khi có thể xảy ra tương tác. Trong những trường hợp này, bác sĩ của bạn có thể muốn thay đổi liều, hoặc các biện pháp phòng ngừa khác có thể là cần thiết. Khi bạn đang dùng thuốc này, điều đặc biệt quan trọng là chuyên gia chăm sóc sức khỏe của bạn phải biết nếu bạn đang sử dụng bất kỳ loại thuốc nào được liệt kê dưới đây.

    To use the skin patch or topical system:

    • Use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. It will work only if applied correctly.
    • Wash your hands with soap and water before and after applying a patch or topical system. Do not touch your eyes until after you have washed your hands.

    Precautions while using Voltaren

    It is very important that your doctor check your or your child’s progress at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to make sure this medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to use it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.

    This medicine may increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. This is more likely in people who already have heart disease. People who use this medicine for a long time may also have a higher risk.

    This medicine may cause bleeding in your stomach or bowels. These problems can happen without warning signs. This is more likely if you have had a stomach ulcer in the past, if you smoke or drink alcohol regularly, are over 60 years of age, are in poor health, or are using certain other medicines (eg, other NSAIDs, steroid medicine, blood thinners).

    Serious skin reactions can occur during treatment with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms while using this medicine: blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin, red skin lesions, severe acne or skin rash, sores or ulcers on the skin, or fever or chills.

    Some possible warning signs of serious side effects that can occur during treatment with this medicine may include black, tarry stools, decreased urination, severe stomach pain, skin rash, swelling of the face, fingers, feet, or lower legs, unusual bleeding or bruising, unusual weight gain, vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or yellow skin or eyes. Also, signs of serious heart problems could occur such as chest pain, tightness in the chest, fast or irregular heartbeat, unusual flushing or warmth of skin, weakness, or slurring of speech. Check with your doctor right away if you notice any of these warning signs.

    This medicine may cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Although this is rare, it may occur more often in patients who are allergic to aspirin or to any of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. The most serious signs of this reaction are very fast or irregular breathing, gasping for breath, or fainting. Other signs may include: changes in color of the skin of the face, very fast but irregular heartbeat or pulse, hive-like swellings on the skin, and puffiness or swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes. If these effects occur, get emergency help at once.

    It is important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before using this medicine. Using this medicine while you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy (third trimester) can harm your unborn baby. Do not use this medicine during the latter part of a pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to.

    If you plan to have children, talk with your doctor before using this medicine. Some women using this medicine have become infertile (unable to have children).

    If your symptoms become worse, check with your doctor.

    Diclofenac may cause redness, soreness, scaling, and peeling of the affected skin. Do not stop using this medicine without first checking with your doctor. If the reaction is very uncomfortable, check with your doctor.

    While using this medicine, your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight than usual, and too much sunlight may increase the effects of the medicine. During this period of time:

    • Stay out of direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10 AM and 3 PM, if possible.
    • Wear protective clothing, including a hat and sunglasses.
    • Do not use a sunlamp or tanning bed or booth.
    • Make sure you have discussed the use of a sun block product with your doctor.

    If you have a severe reaction from the sun, check with your doctor.

    Before having any kind of surgery or medical tests, tell your doctor that you are using this medicine. It may be necessary for you to stop treatment for awhile, or to change to a different nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug before your procedure.

    Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

Precautions while using Voltaren

It is very important that your doctor check your or your child’s progress at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to make sure this medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to use it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.

This medicine may increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. This is more likely in people who already have heart disease. People who use this medicine for a long time may also have a higher risk.

This medicine may cause bleeding in your stomach or bowels. These problems can happen without warning signs. This is more likely if you have had a stomach ulcer in the past, if you smoke or drink alcohol regularly, are over 60 years of age, are in poor health, or are using certain other medicines (eg, other NSAIDs, steroid medicine, blood thinners).

Serious skin reactions can occur during treatment with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms while using this medicine: blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin, red skin lesions, severe acne or skin rash, sores or ulcers on the skin, or fever or chills.

Some possible warning signs of serious side effects that can occur during treatment with this medicine may include black, tarry stools, decreased urination, severe stomach pain, skin rash, swelling of the face, fingers, feet, or lower legs, unusual bleeding or bruising, unusual weight gain, vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or yellow skin or eyes. Also, signs of serious heart problems could occur such as chest pain, tightness in the chest, fast or irregular heartbeat, unusual flushing or warmth of skin, weakness, or slurring of speech. Check with your doctor right away if you notice any of these warning signs.

This medicine may cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Although this is rare, it may occur more often in patients who are allergic to aspirin or to any of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. The most serious signs of this reaction are very fast or irregular breathing, gasping for breath, or fainting. Other signs may include: changes in color of the skin of the face, very fast but irregular heartbeat or pulse, hive-like swellings on the skin, and puffiness or swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes. If these effects occur, get emergency help at once.

It is important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before using this medicine. Using this medicine while you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy (third trimester) can harm your unborn baby. Do not use this medicine during the latter part of a pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to.

If you plan to have children, talk with your doctor before using this medicine. Some women using this medicine have become infertile (unable to have children).

If your symptoms become worse, check with your doctor.

Diclofenac may cause redness, soreness, scaling, and peeling of the affected skin. Do not stop using this medicine without first checking with your doctor. If the reaction is very uncomfortable, check with your doctor.

While using this medicine, your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight than usual, and too much sunlight may increase the effects of the medicine. During this period of time:

  • Stay out of direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10 AM and 3 PM, if possible.
  • Wear protective clothing, including a hat and sunglasses.
  • Do not use a sunlamp or tanning bed or booth.
  • Make sure you have discussed the use of a sun block product with your doctor.

If you have a severe reaction from the sun, check with your doctor.

Before having any kind of surgery or medical tests, tell your doctor that you are using this medicine. It may be necessary for you to stop treatment for awhile, or to change to a different nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug before your procedure.

Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
