Diverse Cutaneous Reactions to Diclofenac Sodium: Case Series of three Patients
Abstract
Diclofenac sodium is a frequently prescribed painkiller in OPD and IPD setups of most clinicians. It is also preferred as an analgesic to deal with postoperative pain. The drug is economical and has better efficacy. Dermatological adverse reactions to diclofenac may manifest in a moderate to severe form. Early identification of ADR and prompt treatment are necessary, which helps in the patient's faster recovery. Delayed identification of ADR sometimes manifests in a severe form that can lead to fatality. Here we report three cases of diclofenacinduced ADRs with varied cutaneous manifestations.
