Dicplus Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with migraine, muscle pain, dental pain, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gout, strain, and sprain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. 

Dicplus Tablet contains Diclofenac, which works by blocking the effect of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX) that produces prostaglandins that are responsible for the sense of pain and inflammation. Thereby, Dicplus Tablet provides relief from pain and inflammation.

Dicplus Tablet should be taken as prescribed. This medicine may cause certain side effects, such as stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, loss of appetite, headache, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, contact your doctor.

• Include turmeric and fish oils, as they help in reducing inflammation.
• Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase joint pain and arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching and impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.
• Include fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of the curve to minimise pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
• Adopting a healthy lifestyle coupled with a diet containing high proteins is the mainstay in the management of arthritic conditions.

Pain: It is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Perception of pain can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable. 

Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting various joints (hands and feet). In this condition, the body's immune system attacks its own tissue (including joints). 

Ankylosing spondylitis: Ankylosing spondylitis is a rare type of arthritis that affects the spine and larger joints, causing extreme pain and stiffness. 

Osteoarthritis is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Without this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness.
