Hi

Yes diclofenic always has been a prescription drug ...as long as I can remember.  My doctor took me off it and put me on Naproxen about 3 years ago.  It was the best of a bad lot was the comment.   Diclofenic helped my pain, naproxen isn't nearly as good.

I must admit, Naproxen does not work for me as well as Diclofenic did.

Hello to all, Naproxen made me ill and I cannot risk it again, so just pain relief when it is needed.

I use MediGuard, and when the medication details are all input it gives you warning and alerts about all your different items and gives you indications as to the different issues that can arise.

Well for now keep well, ttfn from Karen.

I hadn't heard of MediGuard @Karen56 , but I have checked it out - what a great site - I must admit it was a bit scary seeing how many of my drugs have interactions with others I take, but great info.  For anyone else interested, the website is:
