Key takeaways

  • Diclofenac can help selected inflammatory pain but should not be combined with another NSAID without clinical advice.
  • Ulcer, cardiovascular, kidney and pregnancy risks require review even when symptoms seem routine.
  • Chest pain, vomiting blood, black stools or very low urine output needs urgent care.

What Diclofenac is used for

It may be used for acute musculoskeletal pain or inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis.

Important form differences

Oral and injectable diclofenac expose the whole body. Gels act mainly at the application site but are not risk-free, especially over large areas or alongside another NSAID.

Important safety checks

Ulcer or bleeding history, heart or vascular disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, dehydration, anticoagulants, NSAID-sensitive asthma and pregnancy require review. Use the lowest necessary exposure for the shortest clinically appropriate period.

When to seek urgent care

Seek urgent help for chest pain, sudden breathlessness, stroke signs, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, facial swelling, breathing difficulty or very low urine output.
