🩺 MKR Care➕ Pharmacy Health Insight: Diclofenac Normal vs. Gastro-Resistant Tablets

Diclofenac is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for pain and inflammation relief in conditions like arthritis, sprains, and injuries.

Two common forms:

Normal Diclofenac Tablets: Release the drug immediately after ingestion.

Gastro-Resistant (Enteric-Coated) Diclofenac Tablets: Designed to resist stomach acid and dissolve later in the intestines.

Why Choose Gastro-Resistant Diclofenac?

Benefits:

Reduced stomach irritation: The delayed release protects the stomach lining from direct exposure to the drug, lowering the risk of gastritis and gastric ulcers.

Better ulcer prevention: Patients prone to ulcers or with a history of stomach issues are less likely to develop NSAID-induced gastric ulcers.

Improved tolerability: Fewer gastrointestinal side effects like heartburn, nausea, and stomach pain.

Important Notes:

Normal Diclofenac can cause stomach ulceration and bleeding, especially with prolonged use or in those with ulcer history.

Gastro-resistant forms help minimize this risk but do not eliminate it completely.

Always take Diclofenac with food and under medical advice, especially if you have a sensitive stomach or ulcer history.

MKR Care➕ Pharmacy encourages safe medication use to protect your digestive health while managing pain effectively.

🩺 MKR Care➕ Pharmacy Health Alert: Major Side Effects of Antiulcer Medications

Antiulcer medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 blockers, antacids, and mucosal protectants are widely used to treat ulcers, acid reflux, and related stomach conditions. Though effective, some important side effects should be known:

Key Major Side Effects:

- Increased risk of bone fractures with long-term use of PPIs due to decreased calcium absorption
- Vitamin B12 deficiency from reduced stomach acid with prolonged therapy

- Sexual side effects mainly linked to cimetidine (an H2 blocker), including:
- Decreased libido (lowered sexual desire)
- Erectile dysfunction in men
- Rare gynecomastia (enlargement of male breast tissue)

Additional Notes by Medication Type:

- PPIs (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole): Commonly mild gastrointestinal issues; serious long-term risks involve bone density and infections.
- H2 blockers (e.g., cimetidine, famotidine): Mild GI symptoms plus rare hormonal effects causing sexual side effects.
- Mucosal protectants (e.g., sucralfate): Mostly constipation as a side effect.
- Antacids (e.g., aluminum hydroxide): Can cause constipation and mineral imbalances if used excessively.

Safety Tips:
