Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR

Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR is a prescription pain-relief medicine that contains diclofenac 100 mg in each sustained-release tablet. Diclofenac belongs to the NSAID class (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), which helps reduce pain and swelling. It is used for conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, back pain, sprains, strains, and other inflammatory painful conditions. Because this is Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR, it is a higher-strength sustained-release tablet meant for patients a clinician has specifically assessed.

How it works: Diclofenac works by blocking chemicals in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. In this tablet form, Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR releases the medicine gradually so it can provide longer-lasting relief.

The 100 mg sustained-release strength is not the same as lower-dose diclofenac tablets, because it delivers a full 100 mg in one tablet and releases it over time. Doctors may choose Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR when a longer-lasting effect is needed or when once-daily dosing is appropriate for a particular patient. This strength is generally for people who need more sustained pain and inflammation control, not for self-starting without medical advice.

• Arthritis pain and stiffness
• Joint and muscle inflammation
• Back pain

• Swallow Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR whole with water.
• Do not crush, break, or chew the sustained-release tablet.
• Take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor prescribes daily use.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time prescribed.
• Do not take extra doses for faster relief.

Each Decifen 100 mg Tablet SR provides 100 mg of diclofenac in a sustained-release tablet. How often it is taken depends on your condition and your doctor’s instructions, but this strength is commonly used once daily when prescribed as a sustained-release product. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose your doctor gives you; your prescriber decides the right schedule based on your pain, medical history, and risk factors.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
