NAC SR 100 Tablet

NAC SR 100 Tablet is a sustained-release diclofenac tablet from Systopic Laboratories, India. Each tablet contains diclofenac 100 mg, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, muscle and joint pain, sprains, and other painful inflammatory problems.

How it works: Diclofenac works by blocking chemicals in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. In NAC SR 100 Tablet, the sustained-release tablet form is designed to release diclofenac gradually so the effect can last longer.

NAC SR 100 Tablet is a higher-strength, sustained-release diclofenac tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants longer-lasting pain relief from a single dose rather than a quick, short-acting effect. Because it releases medicine more slowly, it may suit people who need around-the-clock anti-inflammatory coverage and should not be used as a simple over-the-counter pain tablet without medical advice.

• Arthritis pain and stiffness
• Back pain and muscle pain
• Sprains and strains
• Joint inflammation
• Post-injury pain and swelling
• Painful inflammatory conditions

• Swallow NAC SR 100 Tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it because it is sustained-release.
• Take it with food or after a meal if it upsets your stomach.
• Take it exactly at the times your doctor prescribes; do not take extra doses for faster relief.
• Avoid taking it on an empty stomach if you are prone to heartburn or nausea.
• Do not combine it with other diclofenac products or other NSAIDs unless your doctor tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each NAC SR 100 Tablet provides diclofenac 100 mg in a sustained-release tablet. The usual frequency is often once daily, but some patients may be prescribed a different schedule depending on the condition being treated and how they respond. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose your doctor gives you; because this is a 100 mg strength, it is not a starter dose for everyone and should only be used as directed by a clinician.

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