Frequently asked questions

What is Diclomist 3 ml Injection used for?

It is used by clinicians for acute pain and inflammation, including musculoskeletal and post-traumatic injury, renal or biliary colic, post-operative pain and flares of inflammatory arthritis, particularly when the oral route is impractical.

Why is Diclomist 3 ml Injection 25 mg per ml and not 75 mg per ml?

It is the lower-concentration presentation of the same molecule. Twenty-five milligrams per millilitre across a 3 ml ampoule gives a more dilute solution and a larger working volume. The 75 mg per ml version is sold as Diclomist 1 ml Injection.

Can Diclomist 3 ml Injection be given at home?

No. It is a prescription (Rx) parenteral product intended for administration by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting, as directed by the treating physician.
