The Diclofenac is much stronger, that is why it is only available by prescription and you can purchase the 200mgs of Ibuprofen over the counter.

This, however, also means that side effects, such as: nausea, headache, stomach irritation and ulcers can occur more rapidly and be more serious.


Is there anything else I can help you with?
