You should know the risks and warnings of Dicloran injection to prevent its misuse. There are some specific circumstances under which the use of certain medications is contraindicated or considered dangerous. So if you are taking any medicine its always a good practice to familiarize yourself with its risks and warnings. The risks and warnings associated with Dicloran injection are: People who are allergic to Diclofenac should not take Dicloran or similar medicines with different brand names. A mild allergy can be inconvenient, causing problems like wheezing and rashes, but one can also sustain a severe allergic reaction from the drug. Known as anaphylactic shock, this condition leads to the throat closing up, skin rashes, nausea, and vomiting. If an antidote is not given in time, death can also occur. Therefore, it is pertinent that you stay away from Dicloran, and also disclose all your allergies to your doctor. Patients with a history of heart disease or heart attack must take Dicloran with caution. It inhibits the production of the chemical that protects the heart and thus can be dangerous for such patients. Individuals with a history of stroke should not take Dicloran, and it can increase their propensity towards it. As Dicloran causes water retention in the body, it is not ideal for hypertensive patients. Therefore, they should take it with caution. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to efficiently pump blood. Of things that complicate this condition, water retention is one. As Dicloran causes fluid to be retained by the body, thus, patients with congestive heart failure should take care when using Dicloran. As edema can be aggravated by water retention, people should take Dicloran with caution, as it causes the body to retain fluid, exacerbating the condition of the patient. People who have gastric ulcers or acidity are advised to take Dicloran with extreme care. It inhibits the production of the chemical that lines the gastric tract, making it vulnerable to acid. Thus, Dicloran can cause gastric ulcers, especially when used over a long period. People with gastric issues or those who need to rely on Dicloran for longer are generally prescribed gastroprotective agents as well. However, now, gastro-resistant Dicloran tablets also available. These protect the stomach from ulcers, so ask your health care provider regarding their use if you have gastric issues. If you are taking anticoagulants for blood thinning, or suffer from blood disorders, you must only use Dicloran at the discretion of your healthcare provider. Dicloran inhibits the production of blood clotting factors. The same purpose is also served by anticoagulants. Thus, when taken together, the effect is compounded. This then leads to the danger of bleeding due to the hyper-anticoagulation mode that your body is put under as a result. Individuals suffering from kidney disease should take Dicloran with extreme caution, as when used over the long term, it leads to impaired kidney functionality, something that people with kidney disease are already suffering from. As dicloran can precipitate existing asthma, people who are asthmatic should take it with caution. People with liver disease need to take Dicloran with caution. As the liver metabolizes and excretes drugs from the body, any disease therein leads to the accumulation of drugs in the body. It then has grave implications for the health of the person. Women who are pregnant should not Dicloran unless told otherwise by their doctor. Dicloran can harm the health of the baby, especially putting the baby's heart in peril. The danger runs higher for women who are in their third trimester.Allergic to Diclofenac
