FAQs

Rhumacort Injection

What is Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection?

Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection is a combination of two medicines: Diclofenac and Paracetamol. This medication helps in relieving pain and inflammation. It works by lowering the levels of chemical substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol / Acetaminophen has an early onset of action which means that it takes very less time to start its action and it helps in relieving the symptoms till diclofenac starts working.

Can the use of Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection cause damage to kidneys?

Yes, the long-term use of Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce a chemical called prostaglandins that protect them from damage. Use of painkillers lowers the levels of prostaglandins in the body leading to kidney damage on long-term use. Use of painkillers is not recommended in patients with underlying kidney disease.

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection?

The use of Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection is considered to be harmful in patients with known allergy to painkillers (NSAIDs) or any of the components or excipients of this medicine. The use of this medicine should preferably be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or in patients with active, recurrent stomach ulcer/bleeding. It should also be avoided in patients with the history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.

Is it safe to take a higher than the recommended dose of Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection?

No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Rhumacort 75 mg/225 mg Injection can lead to increased chances of side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea and can also damage your kidneys on long-term use. If you are experiencing increased severity of pain or the pain is not relieved by the recommended doses of this medicine, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
