Diclofenac Forums (Page 4)

I am 8.5 months pregnant and I have a tooth problem. So is it safe to take diclofenac? ## It has been suspected of causing some issues, when taken during late pregnancy, so it would be best to only take it, if your doctor has instructed you to do so. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, fluid retention, and stomach irritation. Have you consulted a dentist? Congratulations on the baby! ## I want to misscarry my child which is 5months using diclofenac.so wen and how wil the bleeding happen

Can these be taken in conjunction with Paracetamol Tablets? ## Difene contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Since Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is also an anti-inflammatory, NO, they should not be used together. It would be doubling up on the same type of medication and can be dangerous. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation.

The lower sphincter of my oesophagus won't relax to let food pass (achalasia?). My doctor prescribed nitrate (isordil), which works sometime but it gives me such a headache that i gave up on it. Is there a reliable muscle relaxant that i could try? Reading up about diclofenac puts me off: the risks are not trivial, especially at my age (82), though it has helped me for other complaints. Thanks. ## No, Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is most commonly used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, easy bruising, and increased risk of bleeding. There are many reliable muscle relaxants that you could try, but it really depends on your overall health, any other medications you may be t...

I just took 2 diclofenac sodium 75mg at the same time. Since only one doesn't work at all. Could that hurt me? ## Hello, Turquita20! How are you? Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. It also carries some risks, such as causing stomach damage, increasing the risk of bleeding, causing liver damage or liver failure, so it is very important that you not take more than your doctor has prescribed. Doubling up once likely isn't very risky, but only your doctor can say for sure. It would be best to inform them, as they may want to run some blood work to check your liver function and clotting factor. Is there anything else I can ...

Hi, I am taking diclofenac 50mg once a day (night) for about 3 months. Is it alright if I continue to take it at this dose for another month before I see my specialist again? Will it cause me any harm? If I don't take it daily, it will cause me unbearable pain the whole day. By the way, I'm taking it for my rheumatoid arthritis and I am 32 years old, female with no other medical history. ## This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Has your specialist told you to keep taking it? It is always best to follow your doctor's instructions. There is a risk of liver and stomach damage, if it is take...

How are you? This cream is actually something that is specially ordered by a patient's doctor, and it must be created by a compounding pharmacy. There really is no standard list of ingredients, it can vary from doctor to doctor, according to what they think will work best for their patient. This combination is usually used for topical, or muscular pain relief, and the FDA lists the side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, flaking, and headache. To explain it more for you, Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is also u...

My eldery lady has back pain all the time, she is confined to her recliner and she doesn't walk. Will this combination of diclofenac, gabapentin & lidocaine help alleviate her back pain? It originally was presribed for pain in her feet. ## Hi Patti, As a topical pain-relieving cream, it may help. However, one cannot distinctly say that it will or will not without trying it first. - Diclofenac is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) marketed for use in treating mild to moderate pain/inflammation. - Gabapentin is marketed for use in treating nerve pain (as well as certain types of seizures). - Lidocaine is a sodium channel blocker marketed for use in relieving pain and numbing tissue (skin). To what extent these ingredients will help her pain is anyone's guess... How...

I suffer from pain in both knees. I also suffer from pain in my left ankle region which my doctor tells me is due to "inflammation". He has prescribed me Altraday - 1 tablet every night at bed time for 5 nights and says it should not be taken too often. I do not get a clear answer from him on how often is "too often". I have experimented on my own and found that 1 tablet a day gives me good relief from pain for the first 24 hours and somewhat reduced relief for the next 24 hours. On this basis, if I continue to take one tablet of Altrday every alternate day on long term basis, I hope to lead a much better life. Is it OK, or do you have any suggestions? ## Hello, Ritinkar! How are you? Altraday contains the active ingredient Diclofenac. The FDA classifies this as a nonste...

I am taking Diclofenac sodium ec 75 mg twice daily and it is not even touching on the pain I am having. I was told by a pharmacist that I could take Acetaminophen with this, but to what extent? Can I take it with the pill or in between pills? How long should I wait? ## What medical conditions are you being treated for? Are you on any other medications? While it's technically okay to take both, there are other factors that can play a role, such as those that I've asked about. Have you talked to your doctor about it? If the Diclofenac isn't helping your pain, they may be able to prescribe something else.

I'm getting knee pain since 2007and got advised from doctor to reduce my body weight to 65 kg (right now my weight is 95 kg). i take a lot of medicine to reduce my pain but failed. Last week I received vitbion forte tablet from my friend who work as hospital assistant. before I take it; could you please advice me what is the function of this tablet; is it i will get side effect if i take it continuously. ## Anything you take carries the risk of causing side effects. Vitbion Forte is a Vitamin B complex supplement, it sometimes helps people with pain or fatigue, if they are deficient in these vital nutrients, however, if your pain is caused by something else, then it will not have any effect. Has your doctor suggested any other solutions? Have you narrowed down what is causing your p...

I have inflammation in my back and was taking a pill called Cataflam 50mg but it does not work and still hurts. Can I take a cti 103 (Diclofenac Sodium 75mg) pill instead? Is Cataflam 50mg weaker than Diclofenac Sodium 75mg? ## Hi Evenlyn, Sorry to hear about your back condition. I hope you feel better soon! To answer your question, in short, yes, 50mg is weaker than 75mg. Cataflam is simply another brand name of Diclofenac; so it's pretty much the exact same thing at a different dosage, albeit the suffix is potassium with Cataflam instead of sodium as with the common/standard Diclofenac (& I'm not certain as to whether either mineral makes any notable difference in bioavailability/potency). As to whether or not you can take 75mg instead of 50mg, that's entirely up to yo...
