What is Lofnac Plus?
Lofnac Plus is a combined analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication widely used in Nigeria for the effective management of pain and fever. It contains two active ingredients: Diclofenac Sodium (50mg) and Paracetamol (500mg). This dual-action formula provides faster and more prolonged relief compared to taking either medication alone.
What is Lofnac Plus used for?
Lofnac Plus tablets are formulated to target various types of physical discomfort. It is commonly prescribed for:
- Joint and Bone Pain: Relieving symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Dental Pain: Effective relief for sharp toothaches or post-surgical dental pain.
- Body Aches: Easing muscle sprains, backaches, and general body pains.
- Period Pain: Managing painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea).
- Fever: Helping to reduce high body temperatures.
How it Works
The Diclofenac in Lofnac Plus acts as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces the production of chemicals (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling. Paracetamol works alongside it to block pain signals to the brain and lower fever.
How to use Lofnac Plus
It is recommended to take Lofnac Plus tablets with food or a glass of water to minimize stomach irritation. Follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider. For professional advice, you can chat with a GoMed pharmacist online.
