Hydrac P Tablets (x10) – Clarion
Hydrac P is a highly effective, dual-action medication formulated for the management of pain and inflammation. Manufactured by Clarion Medicals Ltd, this tablet is a common choice in Nigeria for those seeking fast relief from various physical discomforts. It combines two powerful active ingredients to target pain at its source while simultaneously reducing fever.
What is Hydrac P Used For?
Hydrac P is primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain and inflammatory conditions. In the Nigerian market, it is frequently used for:
- Fast Relief from Headaches: Including tension headaches and migraines.
- Dental Pain: Highly effective for toothaches and discomfort after dental procedures.
- Body & Muscle Pain: Relief from backaches, menstrual cramps, muscle strains, and joint pain.
- Arthritis & Swelling: Helps reduce inflammation and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
- Fever Reduction: Quickly lowers high body temperature during colds or flu.
How It Works
The efficacy of Hydrac P comes from its optimized combination of Diclofenac Potassium (50mg) and Paracetamol (500mg). The Potassium salt of Diclofenac is absorbed more rapidly by the body than the Sodium version, making it ideal for acute pain that requires immediate attention. Paracetamol complements this by acting on the central nervous system to further elevate the pain threshold.
Dosage and Administration
For adults, the typical dosage is one tablet taken every 8 to 12 hours as needed. Do not exceed 3 tablets in a 24-hour period. To protect your stomach, it is strongly advised to take Hydrac P with food or a full glass of water.
If you are unsure about the dosage or have underlying health conditions, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
Important Safety Information
Hydrac P is an NSAID-based medication. It should be used with caution in individuals with a history of stomach ulcers or kidney issues. It is not recommended for use during the later stages of pregnancy unless prescribed by a physician.
