Frequently asked questions

What is Naclof used for?+
Naclof contains diclofenac sodium and is indicated for the treatment of postoperative ocular inflammation and pain, as well as for managing allergic conjunctivitis. It helps reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort in the eye after surgical procedures or allergic reactions.
How does diclofenac sodium work in the eye?+
Diclofenac sodium inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX‑1 and COX‑2) in ocular tissues, decreasing the production of prostaglandins that drive inflammation and pain. By lowering these mediators, the drug reduces swelling, redness, and discomfort in the treated eye.
What is the usual dose of Naclof?+
The dosing regimen for Naclof is determined by the prescribing eye care professional based on the specific condition, severity, and patient factors. The prescriber will specify the number of drops, frequency, and duration of treatment.
Is Naclof safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of ocular diclofenac during pregnancy or lactation has not been fully established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.
How do I order Naclof from GNH USA?+
To order Naclof, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com indicating the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Naclof compare with other ocular anti‑inflammatories?+
Naclof (diclofenac) is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug, offering anti‑inflammatory and analgesic effects without the steroid‑related rise in intra‑ocular pressure. Compared with corticosteroid eye drops, it has a lower risk of steroid‑induced glaucoma but may carry a higher risk of corneal irritation when used long‑term.
How should Naclof be stored and handled?+
Store Naclof at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the container from excessive light, moisture, and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to maintain sterility.
How is Naclof administered?+
Naclof is applied as an ophthalmic solution. The prescribed number of drops is placed into the lower conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) using the provided dropper, typically without touching the eye or eyelid. Follow the prescriber’s instructions for frequency and duration.
What are the most serious risks associated with Naclof?+
Serious risks include corneal ulceration or perforation, severe allergic reactions such as angioedema, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and significant vision loss. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience persistent pain, worsening vision, or signs of severe eye irritation.
Who should not use Naclof?+
Naclof should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, other NSAIDs, or any component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with active ocular infections, corneal ulcers, or those using other ocular NSAID products without medical supervision.
