COMPOSITION
The active ingredient of Remethan is
Diclofenac sodium
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Remethan 50: Yellow, round, enteric-coated tablets.
PROPERTIES:
Remethan is a non-steroidal phenylacetic acid derivative which has
marked analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Remethan is absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract reaching peak
plasma concentrations in two hours after ingestion of the enteric-
coated tablets. Remethan is metabolised and excreted mainly in the
urine.
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by decreasing the activity of the
enzyme, cyclo- oxygenase, which results in decreased formation
of prostaglandin precursors.
PHARMACODYNAMICS/KINETICS:
Absorption: Completely absorbed. Protein binding: 99%.
Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver to inactive metabolites.
Half-life: 2 hours.
Time to peak serum concentration: Within 2 hours.
Elimination: Excreted primarily in the urine.
INDICATIONS:
Remethan is indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis,
ankylosing, spondylitis, osteoarthrosis, low back pain, frozen
shoulder, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, strains, sprains and
acute gout. Remethan is also indicated for the control of pain and
inflammation in orthopaedic, dental and other minor surgery.
In children, Remethan is indicated for the treatment of Juvenile
chronic arthritis.
DOSAGE:
The recommended adult dose of Remethan is 75-150mg daily given in two
or three divided doses. Children should be given
1,3mg/kg per day in divided doses.
