Artifen 50 mg Tablets (10X10S) is a high-quality pharmaceutical product used for relieving pain and inflammation in conditions like arthritis and gout, available for home delivery at PakMeds.

Artifen 50 mg Tablets Ingredients and Usage

Artifen 50 mg Tablets contain Diclofenac Sodium, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used in Pakistan to manage pain and reduce inflammation. This medication is particularly effective for treating chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

It is also commonly utilized for acute musculoskeletal disorders, lower back pain, and painful inflammatory conditions such as acute gout or post-operative pain. By reducing joint swelling and morning stiffness, Artifen helps restore mobility and significantly improves the patient’s daily quality of life. PakMeds ensures that you receive authentic Artifen to maintain your physical health and comfort.

How Does Artifen 50 mg Tablets Work?

The active constituent, Diclofenac Sodium, works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are the primary chemical mediators of pain, fever, and inflammation in the body. By blocking these pathways, Artifen reduces the inflammatory response in joint tissues and decreases the sensitivity of pain receptors.

The sodium salt formulation is designed for reliable absorption, ensuring that the medication reaches therapeutic levels in the bloodstream efficiently. This provides sustained relief from the pain signals sent to the brain, allowing the body to manage underlying inflammatory triggers effectively over several hours.

Artifen 50 mg Tablets Side Effects

Commonly reported side effects of Artifen include gastrointestinal disturbances such as stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, and occasional diarrhea. Some patients may also experience mild dizziness or headaches during the initial doses. These effects are often minimized if the medication is taken after a meal.

Prolonged use of high-dose NSAIDs can increase the risk of more serious complications, including gastric ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or impaired renal function. Rare allergic reactions, such as skin rashes or asthma-like symptoms, have also been noted. PakMeds recommends adhering strictly to the duration of therapy prescribed by your healthcare provider to minimize these risks.

List of Warnings:

• Do not use if you have an active stomach ulcer or a history of gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Avoid use if you are allergic to aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Consult your physician if you have severe heart, liver, or kidney disease.
• Not recommended for use during the third trimester of pregnancy.
• Monitor blood pressure regularly as NSAIDs can sometimes cause fluid retention.
