Anaphylactic Shock After Intramuscular Diclofenac Sodium : A Case Report

Copyright © 2024, Sahoo et al..

Diclofenac sodium is a commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is widely used for acute and chronic pain management. Side effects, such as fixed drug eruption, asthmatic attack, and vasospastic angina, are commonly seen after the use of diclofenac sodium. However, anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock secondary to injection of diclofenac sodium are rare. Our main aim in reporting this adverse event is to alert healthcare professionals to this potentially life-threatening adverse effect of diclofenac sodium and prompt use of adrenaline for treatment.
