Overview

Sandoz Diclac Retard 100mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Diclofenac Sodium 100mg (sustained-release) – the active ingredient. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it, as this is a sustained-release formulation designed to release the medicine slowly over the day. Taking it with or after food can help reduce stomach upset, and it should be taken at around the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor.

Dosage

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition, which is typically once daily for the retard formulation, and will advise the lowest effective dose for the shortest period needed to control your symptoms. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or take it more frequently than directed.

Shelf Life

Unopened and stored correctly, Sandoz Diclac Retard 100mg Tablet is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the packaging. Do not use the tablets after this date, and check with your pharmacist if the strip or blister packaging appears damaged.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in the original packaging. Keep out of the sight and reach of children at all times.
