My GP took me off Diclofenac and put me on Naproxin because of this.
Hi , Diclofenac is already a prescription only medication here . I think there was recently some concern in the media with the increased risk of heart attack
Yes, thought it was @XDarenX - I always had to have a script for it.
DICLOFENAC made a bleed in my tummy. I am advised never to take it again
Hello to all, I agree with all that this Diclofenac has always been a prescription only medication, due to the nasty side effects that arise from long term use. I am also banned from taking it due to my stomach getting in a bad way and getting gastro ulcers, I am even banned from using the topical cream, Volterol.
This medication is really just the anti-inflammation treatment, it never did anything for my pain,
Keep up the good work of information sharing, ttfn from Karen
