Diclofenac Sod 75mg Ec Doesn't Give Me 12 Hr. Coverage (Top voted first)
UpdatedI have been taking diclofenac sod 75 mg ec tab twice a day for about a month, for arthritis in my ankle. It helps early in the day, but does not last until the next pill is due. Same with the one I take in the evening, and when I get up in the morning I can barely walk. Is it possible for these to be prescribed 3 times per day, or would the 100 mg. give me longer coverage, or ? ? ?. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks

Have you discussed this with your doctor?
Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and a higher dose won't necessarily give you a longer time of efficacy, but from what I am reading some people with Arthritis do take it up to 3 times a day, as long as they don't go over 200mgs daily.
You may want to discuss it with your doctor, because a 50mg dosage taken 3 times a day may provide you with more pain control.
