What should I look out for while using Diclofenac?

Diclofenac sodium ophthalmic solution, 0.1% is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to any component of the medication.

The refractive stability of patients undergoing corneal refractive procedures and treated with Diclofenac sodium ophthalmic solution, 0.1% has not been established. Patients should be monitored for a year following use in this setting. With some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, there exists the potential for increased bleeding time due to interference with thrombocyte aggregation. There have been reports that ocularly applied nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may cause increased bleeding of ocular tissues (including hyphemas) in conjunction with ocular surgery.

There is the potential for cross-sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid, phenylacetic acid derivatives, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Therefore, caution should be used when treating individuals who have previously exhibited sensitivities to these drugs.


What might happen if I take too much Diclofenac?

Overdosage will not ordinarily cause acute problems. If Diclofenac sodium ophthalmic solution, 0.1% is accidentally ingested, fluids should be taken to dilute the medication.
