Topical diclofenac

Diclofenac, with the English name dyclonine, can block the transmission of various nerve impulses or stimuli, inhibit touch and sensory nerves, and has analgesic, anti-itch, and antibacterial effects on the skin. Drug classification: First classification: dermatological medicine Second classification: various external applications; Third classification: anti-itch agents. Then, what is the function of topical diclofenac?

Topical diclofenac can treat mycotic trichomonal vaginitis or mycotic vulvitis, or vaginal treatment with medication. Reasonable inhibition of pathogenic bacteria can achieve a therapeutic effect. The vaginal cavity should be washed with an alkaline solution before medication. The duration of treatment should be up to one week, and during the treatment period, couples should not have sexual intercourse with each other. If the other party has symptoms, they should also be treated simultaneously. It is not very convenient for men to apply external medicine, and they need to take fluconazole tablets orally.

Anesthesia, pain relief, and itching relief, and pain relief of skin ulcers. Diclofenac is a partial anesthetic, and subcutaneous tissue injection may cause partial irritation, so it is generally applied externally. Diclofenac ointment is a common anesthetic in the medical field. Before carrying out actual operations such as oral surgery, bronchoscopy, or endoscopy, this drug is often used. Generally, it takes 2-10 minutes to take effect after application, and the anesthetic and analgesic effect of this type of drug can last for 2-4 hours. In addition to medical applications, diclofenac cream can also alleviate itching or pain caused by burns, bedsores, and skin ulcers, so its scope of application is relatively wide. It should be noted that patients who have been anesthetized with diclofenac should not eat within about an hour, as the anesthetic analgesic effect has not yet worn off, and eating may lead to biting the oral mucosa.

Overuse of diclofenac or rapid digestion and absorption may produce systemic toxic and side effects, including good reactions in the central nervous system. Good reactions in the central nervous system may include excitement and/or inhibition of the nervous system, dizziness, vision decline, or drowsiness, and tremors, until heart rate and pulse rate stop. Caution should be exercised in patients with high sensitivity to drugs, and the safety coefficient for pregnant women and fetal babies is not clear. Diclofenac also has side effects, but under the specific guidance of a physician, it is generally safe for use in the treatment process and there is no need to worry.
