Overview

Remethan 50mg Tablet contains Diclofenac sodium 50mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Swallow Remethan 50mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with or after food to reduce the chance of stomach upset, and do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can affect the enteric coating designed to protect the stomach.

Dosage

For chronic joint conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, the usual adult dose is 50mg two to three times daily, up to a maximum of 150mg per day, though your doctor may start at a lower dose and adjust it based on your response and how well the medicine is tolerated; the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration is generally recommended.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the tablets in their original packaging, out of the reach of children.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Indigestion or gas
  • Headache or dizziness
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Swelling in hands or feet

Contraindications

  • Active or history of peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Severe heart failure
  • Severe kidney or liver impairment
  • Known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs (including NSAID-induced asthma or urticaria)
  • Third trimester of pregnancy
  • Recent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other NSAIDs or aspirin taken together increase the risk of stomach irritation and bleeding
  • Blood thinners such as warfarin may have an increased bleeding risk when combined with diclofenac
  • ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and diuretics may be less effective and place extra strain on the kidneys when combined with diclofenac
  • Lithium and methotrexate levels in the blood may rise, increasing the risk of toxicity
  • Corticosteroids taken together further increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects

Quick Tips

  • Always take with food or milk to help protect your stomach
  • Do not combine with other NSAIDs or aspirin unless specifically advised by your doctor
  • Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed to control your symptoms
  • Attend follow-up reviews if you are using this medicine for a chronic condition such as arthritis, so your doctor can monitor your kidney function and blood pressure
  • Seek urgent medical attention if you notice black or tarry stools, severe stomach pain, or vomiting blood

Relevant Information

Because Remethan is intended for ongoing management of chronic joint conditions, regular doctor follow-up helps balance effective long-term pain and inflammation control against the cumulative risks of prolonged NSAID use, including periodic checks of kidney function, blood pressure, and gastrointestinal symptoms; do not adjust the dose or continue use beyond what has been prescribed without medical advice.
