Pawafenac 50mg: Rapid Relief for Pain and Inflammation in Nigeria

Pawafenac 50mg is a potent Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) widely used across Nigeria for managing acute pain and inflammatory conditions. Manufactured by Fredun Pharmaceuticals Limited and containing Diclofenac Potassium, it is specifically formulated for immediate release and faster absorption into the bloodstream, providing quicker relief compared to standard diclofenac sodium.

What is Pawafenac 50mg Used For?

In Nigeria, Pawafenac is a trusted choice for several "sharp" pain conditions:

• Fast Relief for Toothache: Highly effective for dental pain, gum inflammation, and post-extraction recovery.
• Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea): Provides significant relief from severe period pains.
• Arthritis & Joint Pain: Helps manage symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute gout flares.
• Musculoskeletal Injuries: Ideal for treating sprains, strains, and back pain.
• Migraine Attacks: Used to reduce the intensity of acute migraine headaches.

How It Works

The active ingredient, Diclofenac Potassium, works by blocking the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that produce prostaglandins—the chemicals responsible for pain and swelling. Because it is a potassium salt, Pawafenac dissolves rapidly in the stomach, making it an excellent option for "sharp relief" when you need it most.

Dosage and Administration

• How to take: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. It is best taken with or after food to minimize stomach irritation.
• Adult Dosage: The typical dose is one 50mg tablet taken 2 to 3 times daily. Do not exceed 150mg in a 24-hour period.
• Professional Advice: Always consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor to determine the right dosage for your specific condition.

Safety and Precautions

• Pregnancy: Pawafenac should not be used during the last three months of pregnancy as it may harm the unborn baby.
• Stomach Health: Use with caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
