The physician must take great care in case of treatment of patients with gastrointestinat symptoms, a history of peptic/gastric ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease of grave impaired hepatic function. In all such cases,
treatment shall be kept under close medical supervision. In general, gastro-intestinal bleeding of ulceration and perforation have even more serious consequences in the elderly. They can occur at any time during treatment without warning symptoms of previous history. In the rare events
of gastrointeslinal bleeding or ulceration, the drug should be withdrawn.
Owing to the importance of prostaglandins in maintaining renal blood flow, particular caution is called in patients with impaired renal or cardiac blood flow, the elderty patients being treated with diuretics and those with extracellular volume depletion. In such cases, monitomg of renal function
during treatment is recommended. Withdrawal of the drug is usualfy followed by a return to the pre-treatment state.
In any case, particular caution is indicated in old patients or those with a low bodyweigh; in particular it is recommended to administer the lowest effective dosage.

Catafast sachets use in pregnancy and lactation :

During pregnancy, this drug may be administered only after careful precuation of risk/benefit analysis and in any case, with the lowest effective dosage.This drug may not be used during the third trimester of pregnancy owing to the possibility of delaying delivery and slackening labour. It is  necessary to underline the risk of haemorrhage that can arise from administration of NSAIDs during the terminal phase of pregnancy. After oral
doses of 50 mg every 8 hours, diclofenac excreted in breast milk is so  small that adverse effects in the neonate are unlikely.

Catafast sachets dosage method and time of administration :

–In post-traumatic pains, postoperative cases and in the treatment of severe acute rheumatic pain. the attack dose in adults is in the range of 100-150mg per day divided into 2-3 administrations. In milder cases as well as for adolescents over 14 years of age, a dose ranging between 50 and 100 mg daily will generally suffice. In primary dysmenorrhoea, the daily dosage, which should be individually adjusted, is generally between 50 to 150 mg and, if necessary, it may be raised over the course of other menstrual cycles until it reaches a maximum of 200 mg daily. It is advisable to start treatment upon onset of the early symptoms and continue it for a few days depending on symptomatology.
Migraine: An initial dose of 50 mg is recommended at the first sign of an
impending attack. In cases where pain relief is inadequate approx. 2 hours after ingestion of the first dose a further dose of 50 mg may be taken. If necessary, further 50 mg doses may be taken at intervals of 4-6 hours. although a total dose 01200 mg must not be exceeded within a 24 hours period don’t exceed the doses recommended. The content of the sachet is to be melted in a hall glass of natural water prelerably before meals. Possible opalescence of the solution does not indicate impairment of the efficacy of the preparation.

Catafast sachets overdosage :

The procedure of management to be adopted in case of acute poisoning with NSAIDs is essentially a procedure of supportive or symptomatic measures.
