How Justin 100 mg Suppository Works

Justin contains diclofenac, which inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation. By reducing their production, diclofenac helps relieve pain and decrease inflammation.

When administered rectally, the suppository dissolves and the medicine is absorbed through the rectal tissues into the bloodstream.

Serious Risks and Precautions

Diclofenac is an NSAID and can increase the risk of stomach or intestinal ulcers and bleeding, particularly with higher doses or prolonged treatment. NSAIDs can also increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke in some patients.

Tell your doctor before using Justin if you have:

• A history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding

• Heart disease

• High blood pressure

• Kidney disease

• Liver disease

• Asthma triggered by aspirin or NSAIDs

• A history of stroke or cardiovascular disease

• Blood-clotting problems

Use during pregnancy requires medical advice, and diclofenac should generally be avoided during the later stages of pregnancy unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

Avoid combining diclofenac with other NSAIDs unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects.
