Information
Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat pain and inflammatory conditions like gout. It is also sold under the brand name Voltaren and other names.
Uses:
Diclofenac is used to treat osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and mild to moderate pain. Ankylosing spondylitis can also be treated with Voltaren. This medication's Cataflam brand is also used to treat menstrual cramps.
When a migraine attack occurs, diclofenac powder (Cambia) is used to treat it. Cambia will just treat a migraine that has proactively started. It will not lessen the frequency or cause of headaches.
Dosage:
Diclofenac comes in a variety of forms, including tablets, liquid-filled capsules, hard gelatin capsules, extended-release (long-acting) tablets, delayed-release (medication is absorbed by the intestine) tablets, and powder-for-solution packets that can be taken by mouth and mixed with water. Diclofenac hard gelatin capsules are typically taken three times a day on an empty stomach, while diclofenac liquid-filled capsules are typically taken four times a day. Diclofenac extended-release tablets are typically taken once per day, but in rare instances, if necessary, they may be taken twice per day. Typically, diclofenac tablets and delayed-release diclofenac tablets are taken twice, three times, or four times per day. A single dose of diclofenac solution is taken without food to treat migraine headache pain. Diclofenac should be taken at roughly the same time each day if you were instructed to take it regularly. Carefully follow the instructions on your prescription label, and if you have any questions, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
Side effects:
If you experience a serious drug reaction that can affect many parts of your body, stop taking diclofenac and see a doctor. Skin rashes, fever, swollen glands, muscle aches, severe weakness, unusual bruising, and yellowing of the eyes or skin are all possible signs.
Get crisis clinical assistance on the off chance that you have indications of a cardiovascular failure or stroke: slurred speech, shortness of breath, sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, and chest pain that spreads to your jaw or shoulder are all symptoms.
