1. What is VOLTAREN OFTABAK and what is it used for
This medicine contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for ophthalmic use.
It is used during some eye surgeries and for post-operative follow-up:
- inhibition of miosis (narrowing of the pupillary diameter) in cataract surgery,
- prevention of inflammation in cataract and anterior segment eye surgeries,
- treatment of eye pain in photorefractive keratectomy (corrective surgery for myopia) within the first 24 hours after surgery.
2. What you need to know before using VOLTAREN OFTABAK
Do not use VOLTAREN OFTABAK
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to diclofenac sodium or any of the excipients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- if you have had previous episodes of allergy, urticaria (itchy skin rash), acute rhinitis (swelling and irritation inside the nose) or asthma started by taking this eye drop or a similar medicine, such as other NSAIDs or aspirin,
- if you are pregnant, from the beginning of the 6th month of pregnancy (after 24 weeks).,
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using VOLTAREN OFTABAK.
- You must use this medicine with caution:
- VOLTAREN OFTABAK can, like other NSAIDs, in rare cases induce allergic reactions including anaphylactic reactions (serious allergic reactions that cause difficulty breathing or dizziness), even without previous exposure to the drug.
- If you experience hypersensitivity reactions or signs of allergy to this medicine, especially asthma attacks or sudden swelling of the face and neck, stop therapy and contact your doctor or emergency services immediately.
- Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps.
- An acute eye infection can be masked by the topical use of anti-inflammatory drugs. NSAIDs do not have antibacterial properties. In case of eye infection, their use with one/some anti-infective drugs must be done with caution.
- The concomitant use of topical NSAIDs and topical steroids (such as desamethasone) may increase potential healing problems.
- NSAIDs can delay corneal repair.
- If you have a predisposition to bleeding or if you are taking anticoagulant therapy (medicines that thin the blood).
- In case of high doses and prolonged use, the use of topical NSAIDs can cause keratitis.
- Patients who have undergone repeated eye surgeries in a short period of time, who have diabetes, ocular surface disease (e.g. Dry Eye Syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis may be at higher risk of corneal adverse events.
- 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 see a doctor.
