FAQs
Q. What is Gipafenic Tablet?
Gipafenic Tablet 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.
Q. Is it safe to use Gipafenic Tablet?
Yes, Gipafenic Tablet is safe for most of the patients. However, in some patients it may cause some unwanted common side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea and other uncommon and rare side effects. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problem while taking this medication.
Q. Can I stop taking Gipafenic Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Gipafenic Tablet, when used for long-term pain relief, should be continued for as long as advised by your physician. It can be discontinued if you are using it for short-term pain relief.
Q. Can the use of Gipafenic Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Gipafenic Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food or with antacids can prevent nausea. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like dark colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medicine without speaking to your doctor.
Q. Can the use of Gipafenic Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Gipafenic Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded it is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.
Q. Can the use of Gipafenic Tablet cause damage to kidneys?
Yes, the long-term use of Gipafenic Tablet can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce a chemical called prostaglandins that protect them from damage.

The use of Gipafenic Tablet is considered to be harmful in patients with known allergy to painkillers (NSAIDs) or any of the components or excipients of this medicine.

It should also be avoided in patients with the history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
Q. Can Gipafenic Tablet be taken with Vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Gipafenic Tablet can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Gipafenic Tablet helps to relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help to correct the vitamin deficiency that might be causing the underlying painful condition.
