Dart Tablet is used to relieve pain. Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Acute pain is temporarily caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused by pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, etc. Besides this, it is also useful for dental pain, which can occur due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury.

Dart Tablet is composed of Propyphenazone, Paracetamol, and Caffeine. Propyphenazone and paracetamol are known to have analgesic and antipyretic effects for reducing mild to moderate pain. They work by lowering the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and by promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Caffeine acts as a common stimulant by narrowing the blood vessels and reducing headaches.

Take it as your healthcare provider advises. If stomach upset or irritation occurs, it is advisable to take Dart Tablet with food or milk. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Like all medicines, Dart Tablet may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Stop taking this medicine if you experience symptoms like tightness of the chest, breathing difficulties, fever, skin rashes, increased heart rate, and/or any signs of hypersensitivity. 

Do not take Dart Tablet if you are allergic to painkillers like aspirin, paracetamol, naproxen, or diclofenac. It is not recommended for use in children, people with liver disease, heart disease, or gastric ulcers/bleeding problems. Dart Tablet may be associated with a small increase in the risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction). Avoid the consumption of alcohol as it may damage your liver and cause increased side effects from taking the drug. Consult your doctor if your symptoms of pain, inflammation, and fever do not disappear even after ten days.

Swallow it as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it.

Dart Tablet comprises propyphenazone, caffeine and paracetamol and is primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain. Dart Tablet treats pain and relief from discomfort caused by conditions like tooth pain, arthritis, period pain and other types of short-term pains. It helps in treating pain by blocking the chemical messenger in the brain responsible for causing pain. Propyphenazone and Paracetamol lower the elevated body temperature, and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandin by promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat, and caffeine helps in reducing drowsiness caused by propyphenazone. Caffeine is a common stimulant that narrows the blood vessels and relieves headaches. Paracetamol has the advantage of producing less gastric irritation compared to other painkillers like aspirin.

Alcohol intake should be avoided with Dart Tablet as it may lead to unpleasant side effects (dizziness, weakness, drowsiness). It is not recommended for children, severe liver/kidney-related ailments, or pregnant women. The doctor may advise regular monitoring of kidney function in such cases. Elderly patients should exercise extreme caution while using Dart Tablet as the probability of occurrence of side effects in such patients is higher. Caffeine can pass in the breast milk, which may have a stimulating effect on the breastfed child. Please seek medical advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
