Benefits
Diclofenac provides effective relief from pain and reduces inflammation in joints and muscles. It helps improve mobility and quality of life in patients with arthritis by reducing stiffness and swelling. The medicine works relatively quickly to provide pain relief, allowing patients to perform daily activities more comfortably. It is a well-established and widely used medicine with proven effectiveness in managing both acute and chronic painful conditions.
Side effects
Common side effects include stomach upset, nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Some patients may experience drowsiness or skin rash. More serious but rare effects include stomach ulcers, bleeding, liver or kidney problems, and allergic reactions. Most side effects are mild and temporary. If you experience black stools, persistent stomach pain, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or signs of allergic reaction, contact your doctor immediately.
How to use
Take Diclofenac 75mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is best taken with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew it. The usual dose is one tablet once or twice daily, but your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for your condition. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions regarding timing and duration of treatment.
How it works
Diclofenac works by blocking the production of certain natural substances called prostaglandins in the body. Prostaglandins are released in response to injury or disease and cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. By inhibiting the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for prostaglandin production, diclofenac reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and helps lower fever. This action helps provide symptomatic relief from various painful and inflammatory conditions.
Safety advice
Avoid alcohol as it increases the risk of stomach bleeding. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding; diclofenac is generally not recommended, especially in late pregnancy. Use with caution if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease, high blood pressure, or a history of stomach ulcers. May cause dizziness or drowsiness; avoid driving if affected. Elderly patients should use with extra caution. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you take, as diclofenac can interact with blood thinners, other NSAIDs, aspirin, and certain blood pressure medications. Stay well hydrated during treatment.
