  • if you have a history of allergy, urticaria (rash with itching), acute rhinitis (swelling and irritation inside the nose), or asthma due to the use of this eye drop or a similar medicine, such as another NSAID or aspirin.

Warnings and Precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before you start using DICLOABAK.

  • You must use this medicine with caution:
  • Dicloabak, like other NSAIDs, can rarely induce allergic reactions, including anaphylactic reactions (severe allergic reaction that causes difficulty breathing or dizziness), even without prior exposure to the drug.
  • In case of hypersensitivity reactions or signs of allergy to this medicine, especially asthma attacks or sudden sweating on the face and neck, discontinue treatment and contact your doctor or emergency services immediately.
  • Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you have chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and/or nasal polyps associated with asthma.
  • An acute eye infection can be masked by the topical use of anti-inflammatory medicines. NSAIDs do not have antimicrobial properties. In case of eye infection, their use with one or more anti-infective medicines should be done carefully.
  • The simultaneous use of topical NSAIDs and topical steroids (such as dexamethasone) may increase the potential problem of healing.
  • NSAIDs can delay corneal healing.
  • If you have a tendency to bleed or are undergoing anticoagulant treatment (blood-thinning medicines).
  • In case of high doses and prolonged use, the use of topical NSAIDs can produce keratitis.
  • Patients who have undergone repeated eye surgery in a short period, diabetes, ocular surface disease (e.g., dry eye syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, may be at higher risk of adverse effects on the cornea.
  • The use of contact lenses is not recommended after cataract surgery. Your doctor will advise you when you can use contact lenses again.
  • If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, you should visit a doctor.

Using Dicloabak with other medicines

If you are using another type of eye drops at the same time as Dicloabak, please wait 15 minutesbetween treatments.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicine.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Pregnancy

Dicloabak should not be used from the beginning of the 6th month (24 weeks of amenorrhea) until the end of pregnancy. You should not use Dicloabak during the first 5 months of pregnancy (up to 24 weeks of amenorrhea), unless it is strictly necessary and your doctor recommends it. If you need treatment during this period, you should take the minimum possible dose for the shortest possible time.

Oral formulations (e.g., tablets) of diclofenac may cause adverse reactions to the fetus. It is not known if this same risk applies to Dicloabak when used for the eyes.

Breastfeeding

DICLOABAK can be used during breastfeeding.

Fertility

Like all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), this medicine may affect fertility in women and make it difficult to conceive. This effect is reversible when treatment is stopped. Consult your doctor if you are planning to become pregnant or have problems conceiving.
