Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in conditions like arthritis. It works by blocking the production of certain natural substances in your body that cause these symptoms. Diclofenac is suitable for adults dealing with joint pain, stiffness, and swelling due to arthritis.

Dosage and usage

For adults, the usual dose of diclofenac is 75-150 mg per day, divided into 2-3 doses. Your healthcare provider may adjust your dosage based on your condition. Remember not to exceed the recommended dose to avoid unwanted side effects. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
