Precautions

Topical NSAID used in ophthalmological surgery can retard the bleeding time. Therefore patients tending toward uncontrolled bleeding or under therapy with anticoagulants should use this ophthalmic preparation with caution. If infection is present or there is a risk of infection, appropriate treatment (e.g. with antibiotics) should be given concomitantly. If the response to treatment is inadequate, the diagnosis should be re-evaluated (infection, hypersensitivity to the preparation). Patients should be advised not to wear contact lenses during treatment with Diclofenac Sodium ophthalmic solution. The treatment should also be discontinued in the presence of an allergic reaction.
