Question: Hi.I take one Hifanac MR on a need to basis specially before and after a game of golf for pain in my knee.
Never take more than one tablet per day but maybe take it on 60% of the days in a month.

Brief Answer:
Risk of kidney damage is high

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I can certainly understand your concern and have worked through your attached query in detail.

Analgesics like Hifenac have a propensity to cause renal damage if taken on daily basis.

Hence it's advisable to avoid its usage when not required.
