Dicovax TC Tablet is a pain-relieving medicine used to treat pain and inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis. Dicovax TC Tablet should be taken with food to prevent upset stomach. The dose and duration will depend on what you are taking it for and how well it helps your symptoms.

Dicovax TC Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Trypsin Chymotrypsin which relieve pain. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Paracetamol is an antipyretic (fever reducer). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Trypsin Chymotrypsin is a combination of enzymes which break down proteins into smaller fragments thereby making them available for absorption into the blood. They increase blood supply in the affected area and reduce swelling.
