Dicloless Plus

Description:

Dicloless Plus is an oral tablet used for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain and inflammation. The diclofenac component targets inflammation at the site, while paracetamol enhances pain relief and reduces fever, making it effective for musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions. It is not meant for long-term use or for treating viral infections, and prolonged use should be monitored to avoid complications like gastrointestinal or kidney issues.
