Abstract :

Objective To asses the safety and efficacy of transdermal diclofenac patch in comparison to intramuscular Diclofenac in post caesarean section pain relief . Study Design 60 women of caesarean section were taken for randomised prospective study, women were divided randomly into two groups with similar demographic profile. Group A received transdermal Diclofenac patch and Group B received intramuscular diclofenac. Analgesic effect was compared in both groups. Results Transdermal diclofenac patch group had better pain relief and 85.2% women did not require any further analgesic whereas in intra muscular diclofenac group pain relief was not effective and all women required additional doses. Conclusion Transdermal diclofenac patch is a better, effective and convenient method of pain relief in post caesarean section pain.
