DP Gesic Tablet is used to treat painful musculoskeletal joint conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It contains Diclofenac and Paracetamol. Diclofenac reduces the production of prostaglandins (chemicals) that cause pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer), enhancing Diclofenac's pain relief action. It also helps relieve toothache, ear pain, backache and other musculoskeletal-related pain. It may cause common side effects like stomach upset, dizziness, light-headedness, malaise, nausea, vomiting, liver dysfunction (hepatitis), pruritis (itchy skin), and rash.

About DP Gesic Tablet

DP Gesic Tablet is used to treat painful musculoskeletal joint conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

DP Gesic Tablet contains Diclofenac (analgesic) and Paracetamol (fever reducer/mild analgesic), effective against painful musculoskeletal pain, joint pain, and skeletal muscle spasms. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. On the other hand, paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer), enhancing Diclofenac's pain relief action. It also helps relieve toothache, ear pain, backache and other musculoskeletal-related pain.

DP Gesic Tablet can be taken with or after the meal. DP Gesic Tablet may cause common side effects like stomach upset, dizziness, light-headedness, malaise, nausea, vomiting, liver dysfunction (hepatitis), pruritis (itchy skin), and rash, although not everybody gets them. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
