Can I stop taking Diclom-Plus Tablet when my pain is relieved?
If you're using Diclom-Plus Tablet for long-term pain relief, it's essential to continue taking it as advised by your physician. If you're using it for short-term pain relief, you can discontinue it once your pain is relieved.
Can the use of Diclom-Plus Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Diclom-Plus Tablet may cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food, or antacids can help prevent nausea. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods with this medication. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small, frequent sips. Consult your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medication without consulting your doctor.
Can the use of Diclom-Plus Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, Diclom-Plus Tablet may cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) in some patients. If you experience dizziness, it's best to rest for a while and resume once you feel better.
Can the use of Diclom-Plus Tablet cause damage to kidneys?
Yes, the long-term use of Diclom-Plus Tablet can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce prostaglandins, which protect them from damage.

Can Diclom-Plus Tablet be taken with Vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Diclom-Plus Tablet can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Diclom-Plus Tablet helps relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help correct the vitamin deficiency that may be causing the underlying painful condition.
