What is GROFENAC Retard

Managing mild to moderate pain. It is also used to manage pain caused by arthritis. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
GROFENAC Retard is an NSAID. Exactly how it works is not known. It may block certain substances in the body that are linked to inflammation. NSAIDs treat the symptoms of pain and inflammation. They do not treat the disease that causes those symptoms.

Important safety information:

• GROFENAC Retard may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use GROFENAC Retard with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Serious stomach ulcers or bleeding can occur with the use of GROFENAC Retard. Taking it in high doses or for a long time, smoking, or drinking alcohol increases the risk of these side effects. Taking GROFENAC Retard with food will NOT reduce the risk of these effects. Contact your doctor or emergency room at once if you develop severe stomach or back pain; black, tarry stools; vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds; or unusual weight gain or swelling.
• Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
• A very bad skin reaction (Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis) may happen. It can cause very bad health problems that may not go away and sometimes death. Get medical help right away if you have signs like red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin (with or without fever); red or irritated eyes; or sores in your mouth, throat, nose, or eyes.

• Do not switch between different forms of GROFENAC Retard (eg, enteric-coated tablets, immediate-release tablets, capsules) unless your doctor tells you to. They may not provide the same amount of medicine to your body.
• Some brands of GROFENAC Retard contain gelatin and should not be taken by patients who are allergic to bovine (cow) proteins. If you are allergic to these proteins, ask your doctor or pharmacist if they are in your product.
• Lab tests, including kidney and liver function, blood electrolyte levels, complete blood cell counts, and blood pressure, may be performed while you use GROFENAC Retard. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Use GROFENAC Retard with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially stomach bleeding and kidney problems.
• GROFENAC Retard should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
