Benefits

Diclofenac is commonly prescribed for pain relief in conditions like headache, mild migraine, muscle pain, dental pain, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, and painful menstrual cramps.

How It Works

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It blocks specific chemical messengers that trigger pain and inflammation, thereby reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort.

Side Effects

Possible side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, vomiting, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal ulcer, rash, and irritation or pain at the application or injection site.

Expert's Advice 

• Take Diclofenac with food or milk to minimize stomach upset.
• Follow the prescribed dose and duration. Prolonged use may lead to serious complications, such as stomach bleeding or kidney issues.
• Diclofenac may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or vision disturbances. Use caution if driving or performing tasks requiring focus.
• Avoid alcohol during treatment, as it may exacerbate drowsiness and increase stomach risks.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease or stroke.
• Long-term use may necessitate regular monitoring of kidney and liver function and blood components.
