1. What is Diclocular and what is it used for
Diclocular is indicated in inflammatory conditions, possibly painful and not of an infectious nature, affecting the anterior segment of the eye, in particular for cataract surgery.
2. What you need to know before you use Diclocular
Do not use Diclocular
- if you are allergic to the active ingredient or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6). In particular, do not use this eye drop if, after taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs of the same type (so-called non-steroidal drugs), you have experienced asthma attacks, urticaria or acute rhinitis.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Diclocular:
- if you have an increased risk of injury to a part of the eye called the cornea;
- if you are using other medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid and derivatives of phenylacetic acid;
- if you are using other medicines against inflammation based on “steroidal hormones” (see section “Other medicines and Diclocular”);
- if you have undergone repeated and/or complicated eye surgeries in a short period of time;
- if you have a predisposition to bleeding or if you are being treated with other medicines that can prolong bleeding time;
- if you have an eye infection. Infections can be masked by the use of topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and therefore by Diclocular. In case of infection, or if there is a risk of it, your doctor will prescribe appropriate therapy (e.g. with antibiotics) which must be started simultaneously with Diclocular.
This medicine must be used with caution.
This medicine may induce:
- allergic reactions, including anaphylactic reactions (serious allergic reactions that cause difficulty breathing and dizziness), even without previous exposure. There is a potential for cross-sensitivity with acetylsalicylic acid, phenylacetic acid derivatives and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
- development of corneal diseases: keratitis, epithelial rupture, corneal thinning, corneal erosion, corneal ulceration or corneal perforation. These effects, which can be dangerous for vision, have occurred in patients who have undergone repeated complicated eye surgeries in a short period of time, who have had ocular surface disease (e.g. dry eye syndrome), corneal denervation, corneal epithelial defects, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis and who may be at greater risk of corneal adverse events. Prolonged use of topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Diclocular may increase the risk and severity of corneal side effects. Patients with evidence of corneal epithelial rupture should immediately discontinue use of Diclocular and should be carefully monitored to check corneal health.
Children and adolescents
The medicine should not be used in children and adolescents.
Other medicines and Diclocular
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take
any other medicine.
Concomitant use of diclofenac and medicines against inflammation called topical steroids in
patients who present with significant pre-existing corneal inflammation, may increase the
risk of developing corneal complications.
Concomitant use of diclofenac and medicines against inflammation, called topical steroids, may
cause potential problems with healing.
Diclocular with food, drinks and alcohol
No interaction effects are known.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding with
breast milk, ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine.
Pregnancy
Diclocular should not be used if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy. Do not use Diclocular
during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless strictly necessary and as directed by your doctor. If
treatment is necessary during this period, the lowest dose should be used for the shortest possible time.
Oral forms (e.g. tablets) of diclofenac can cause adverse effects in the unborn child. It is
not known whether the same risk applies when diclofenac is used in the eye.
Breastfeeding
The use of the drug during breastfeeding, although no side effects are known, is not recommended.
Driving and operating machinery
Diclocular does not impair the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
However, patients who experience side effects such as blurred vision should refrain from
driving vehicles or using machinery (see section 4).
Diclocular (multidose eye drops in a bottle) contains benzalkonium chloride
This medicine contains 2.57 micrograms of benzalkonium chloride per drop equivalent to 0.1
mg/ml.
Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and can lead to a change
in their color. Remove contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15 minutes before
reapplying them.
Benzalkonium chloride can also cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eyes or
corneal disorders (the most superficial transparent layer of the eye). If you experience an
abnormal sensation in the eye, burning or pain after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
3. How to use Diclocular
Use this medicine following exactly as stated in this leaflet or as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is that of the prescription you will receive.
To prevent the active ingredient from moving away from the eye when combined with another
ophthalmic treatment, a minimum interval of 5 minutes must be allowed between applications of
each medicine.
Method of administration
