Question 1

what is the definition or description of: cataflam (diclofenac) allergy?

Accepted Answer

Cataflam allergy: Cataflam (diclofenac) is a nonsteroidal anti-Inflammatory drug.   An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For potential adverse effects see:   https://www.drugs.com/cataflam.html

Question 2

i am taking diclofenac sodium 75mg can i take allergy pills?

Accepted Answer

Allergy : Presuming that you are healthy, taking the two medications together is not likely to be a problem. If you are hypertensive, your blood pressure can be affected, so monitor it.

Question 3

i just swollowed a cataflam whole then realized it had to be dissolved. is that a problem?

Accepted Answer

Diclofenac: I know that at least some cataflam should be taken with a full glass of water (&amp; food or milk on the stomach).. If you are taking it in disolvable form - then my guess is that it will disolve as it goes through your body or will passed without being entirely disolved.

Question 4

is it possible to overdose on a mixture of cataflam (diclofenac) and other things?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: You can overdose on Cataflam alone with serious problems, primarily renal and liver.  Since I do not know what "other things" are, can't comment any further.  Cataflam is the potassium salt of diclofenac.

Question 5

hi, i am on puricos and altosec, can i take colchicine and cataflam for a gout attack?

Accepted Answer

Colchcine and: antiinflammatory medication are the drugs of choice for an acute inflammation. Some physicians prefer to use Indocin or prednisone as anti-inflammattory agents.

Question 6

i am currently still breastfeeding my little one, is it ok to take cataflam for a hurt shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Decide with doctor: When taken by mouth, Cataflam is present in breast milk. Topical Cataflam is absorbed into the body less than by mouth, although small amounts may be present in breastmilk, and your little one may be exposed to it. The decision to continue should be made together with your doctor, but it comes down to the benefit of therapy vs. risk to your infant (e.g., what if s/he has an allergy to it).

Question 7

i have a margarine for longer than two days and cataflam didnt work, grandpa just help for a second and disprens also. i am nauseous and clocked sinuses ?

Accepted Answer

See doc: Check your temperature and let your GP know about your symptoms. An infection, viral or bacterial appears likely and an exam will be needed. Your symptoms suggest more than a migraine.

Question 8

hi.

i fell on my tailbone at the icerink a week back. the pain does not seem to go away. its a week now. i've been using cataflam and muscle relaxers. can you please suggest what i do next?

Accepted Answer

: This type of injury is very painful and very slow to heal. It helps to avoid sitting on hard surfaces. Use a donut device to sit on, even in a warm bathtub. Medications are not usually that helpful. It usually takes about 4-6 weeks to heal. If you notice numbness or pain into your lower extremities then you should see your doctor. This problem is called coccydynia.

Question 9

i hurt my lower back while lifting something heavy. i went to see my doc monday who gave me a shot and prescribed pain meds and cataflam and suggested i take it easy. the pain does not seem to be going away. do i go back to doc or give it more time?

Accepted Answer

REST and: OTC medication should be tried for a week 
After that get re-evaluated.. Hope this helps
Dr Z

Question 10

can i take cataflam if im taking methadone ?

Accepted Answer

Check drugs.com: There are no interactions between those meds but is best to ask your doctor to make sure no other contraindications in your other meds and history.Cataflam is an NSAID so should net be taken on an empty stomach as could increase risk of ulcers and gastritis.
