1. WHAT IS DICLOABAK AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR

The preparation contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) intended for administration to the eyes.
It is used during and after certain eye surgeries to:

  • inhibit pupil constriction during cataract surgery,
  • prevent the occurrence of inflammatory conditions associated with cataract surgery and the anterior segment of the eye,
  • relieve pain in the eyeball in photorefractive keratectomy procedures (corrective corneal surgery for myopia) within the first 24 hours after the procedure.

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING DICLOABAK

When not to use Dicloabak

  • if the patient is hypersensitive to diclofenac sodium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has previously experienced an allergy, hives (itching rash), acute rhinitis (swelling and irritation inside the nose), or asthma caused by the use of these eye drops or similar medicines, such as aspirin and other NSAIDs.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Dicloabak, discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

  • The medicine should be used with caution:
    • Dicloabak, like other NSAIDs, may rarely cause allergic reactions, including anaphylactic reactions (severe allergic reaction causing breathing difficulties or dizziness), even without prior exposure to the medicine.
    • In case of hypersensitivity reactions or symptoms of allergy to the medicine, especially asthma attacks or sudden swelling of the face and neck, treatment should be discontinued and medical attention should be sought immediately.
  • Before using the medicine, inform your doctor if you have asthma combined with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and/or nasal polyps.
  • Local use of anti-inflammatory drugs may mask acute eye infections. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not have antibacterial effects. In case of eye infections, their use should be carefully considered with one or more antibacterial drugs.
  • Concomitant use of topical NSAIDs and topical steroids (such as dexamethasone) may increase the risk of problems during treatment.
  • NSAIDs may delay corneal healing.
  • In case of a tendency to bleed or treatment with anticoagulant drugs (drugs that reduce blood clotting).
  • Prolonged use of topical NSAIDs in high doses may cause corneal inflammation.
  • Patients who have undergone another eye surgery in a short time, patients with diabetes, eye surface disease (e.g., dry eye syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, may be at increased risk of adverse reactions related to the cornea.
  • It is not recommended to wear contact lenses after cataract surgery. The attending doctor will advise the patient when it is possible to wear contact lenses again.
    • In case of no improvement or worsening of symptoms, consult a doctor.

Dicloabak and other medicines

In case of using other eye drops during the same period as Dicloabak, wait 15 minutesbetween administrations.
Tell your doctor about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as those you plan to use, including those available without a prescription.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

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

Pregnancy
Dicloabak should not be used from the beginning of the 6th month of pregnancy (from the 24th week of amenorrhea) until the end of pregnancy. During the first 5 months of pregnancy (up to the 24th week of amenorrhea), Dicloabak should not be used unless it is necessary and recommended by a doctor. If use is necessary, the smallest dose should be administered for the shortest time possible.
After oral administration of diclofenac (e.g., tablets), adverse reactions may occur in the unborn child. It is not known if the same risk applies to Dicloabak after administration to the eye.
Breastfeeding
Dicloabak can be used during breastfeeding.
Fertility
Like all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), this medicine may affect fertility in women and make it more difficult to become pregnant. This effect disappears after treatment is discontinued. Inform your doctor if you are planning a pregnancy or having trouble getting pregnant.

Driving and using machines

For a short period after administration of the preparation, vision disturbances may occur. During this time, do not drive vehicles or operate hazardous machinery.

Dicloabak contains macrogolglycerol ricinoleate

  • Before surgery: 1 drop 5 times within 3 hours before surgery;
  • After surgery: 1 drop 3 times immediately after surgery, and then 1 drop 3-5 times a day, usually for no more than 4 weeks.

Pain in the eyeball associated with photorefractive keratectomy (corrective corneal surgery for myopia):

  • Before surgery: 2 drops within 1 hour before surgery;
  • After surgery: 2 drops within 1 hour after surgery, and then 4 drops within 24 hours after surgery.
