Cataflam 0.5mg Oral Drops (15ml) is a specialized pediatric formulation of diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is designed to provide fast-acting relief from pain, fever, and inflammation in children and infants aged 1 year and older.
What is Cataflam 0.5mg Oral Drops used for?
In Nigeria, Cataflam drops are commonly recommended by healthcare professionals for managing acute conditions in children. These include:
- ENT Infections: Relief of pain associated with ear, nose, and throat infections like otitis media or tonsillitis.
- Post-Surgery Recovery: Reducing swelling and pain following dental extractions or minor surgical procedures.
- Fever & Inflammation: Managing high body temperature and inflammation caused by various infections.
- Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Helping with joint pain and swelling in chronic conditions.
How it Works
The active ingredient, diclofenac resinate, works by blocking the production of enzymes (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation in the body. The "0.5mg" concentration refers to the amount of active ingredient in a single drop, making it easier for parents to administer precise doses to infants.
