Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat, or prevent pain, and swelling. The EC means that it is enteric coated, to help protect your stomach, since this class of medications can be harsh on your stomach.

The FDA lists the typical Diclofenac side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased risk of bleeding.

It is available over the counter, now, in gel form to be used topically to treat arthritis, and muscle pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
