FAQs

Qukfen-DS Tablet

What is Qukfen-DS Tablet?

Qukfen-DS Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Diclofenac and Paracetamol. This medication helps in relieving pain and inflammation. It works by lowering the levels of chemical substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol / Acetaminophen has an early onset of action which means that it takes very less time to start its action and it helps in relieving the symptoms till diclofenac starts working.

Is it safe to use Qukfen-DS Tablet?

Yes, Qukfen-DS Tablet is safe for most of the patients. However, in some patients it may cause some unwanted common side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea and other uncommon and rare side effects. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problem while taking this medication.

Can I stop taking Qukfen-DS Tablet when my pain is relieved?

Qukfen-DS Tablet, when used for long-term pain relief, should be continued for as long as advised by your physician. It can be discontinued if you are using it for short-term pain relief.

Can the use of Qukfen-DS Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?

Yes, the use of Qukfen-DS Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food or with antacids can prevent nausea. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like dark colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Can the use of Qukfen-DS Tablet cause dizziness?

Yes, the use of Qukfen-DS Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded it is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.

Can the use of Qukfen-DS Tablet cause damage to kidneys?

Yes, the long-term use of Qukfen-DS Tablet can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce a chemical called prostaglandins that protect them from damage. Use of painkillers lowers the levels of prostaglandins in the body leading to kidney damage on long-term use. Use of painkillers is not recommended in patients with underlying kidney disease.

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Qukfen-DS Tablet?

The use of Qukfen-DS Tablet is considered to be harmful in patients with known allergy to painkillers (NSAIDs) or any of the components or excipients of this medicine.

It should also be avoided in patients with the history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.

Can Qukfen-DS Tablet be taken with Vitamin B-complex?

Yes, Qukfen-DS Tablet can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Qukfen-DS Tablet helps to relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help to correct the vitamin deficiency that might be causing the underlying painful condition.

Is it safe to take a higher than the recommended dose of Qukfen-DS Tablet?

No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Qukfen-DS Tablet can lead to increased chances of side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea and can also damage your kidneys on long-term use.
