Overview

Gudgesic AQ Injection contains Diclofenac Injection IP, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated as an aqueous-base injection for faster pain relief and improved patient comfort. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body.

 

Gudgesic AQ Injection is commonly prescribed for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, post-operative conditions, trauma, renal colic, and other inflammatory diseases. Because it is administered through intramuscular or intravenous injection by a healthcare professional, it offers rapid onset of action when oral medication is not suitable.

 

This medicine should be used strictly under medical supervision. Long-term use or excessive dosing may increase the risk of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney impairment, cardiovascular complications, and allergic reactions. Patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease, asthma induced by NSAIDs, severe liver disease, kidney disease, or heart disease should consult their doctor before receiving this injection.

 

Gudgesic AQ Injection is intended for short-duration therapy only and should not be self-administered.
