Can the use of Noflam Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Noflam Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting in some individuals. Consuming it with milk, food, or antacids may help prevent these side effects. Fatty or fried foods should be avoided while using this medication, as they might worsen nausea. In case of vomiting, drinking small, frequent sips of water or other fluids is recommended.

Can the use of Noflam Tablet cause damage to kidneys?
Long-term use of Noflam Tablet may increase the risk of kidney damage. Normal kidneys produce prostaglandins that protect them from harm, and long-term NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) use can deplete these protective prostaglandins, leading to potential kidney problems. It's essential for individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions to avoid or consult with their doctor before using this medication.
Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Noflam Tablet?
Noflam Tablet is generally not recommended for people who have known allergies to NSAIDs, or to its components or excipients. It should also be avoided in individuals with a history of stomach ulcers or active/recurrent bleeding from ulcers. Additionally, the use of this medication should be avoided in patients with a history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
Can Noflam Tablet be taken with Vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Noflam Tablet can be combined with Vitamin B-complex preparations. These vitamin supplements help correct potential vitamin deficiencies that might contribute to the underlying pain condition.
Is it safe to take a higher than the recommended dose of Noflam Tablet?
Taking a higher dose of Noflam Tablet can lead to increased side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, and may also harm your kidneys in the long-term. Consult your doctor if you are experiencing increased pain or if the prescribed doses do not provide relief. They can assess the situation and make adjustments to your treatment plan.
What is the recommended storage condition for Noflam Tablet?
