Pregnancy: Not recommended in third trimester. Breastfeeding: Small amounts excreted.
Diclofenac is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) supplied as 50 mg and 100 mg tablets. The active ingredient is diclofenac, and the medicine is also known as Voltarol. It is used for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
It reduces pain and joint stiffness by inhibiting the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production. Relief begins in 1–2 hours and lasts 8–12 hours. A boxed warning covers cardiovascular thrombotic events and gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration and perforation (DailyMed). It is contraindicated in active peptic ulcer and severe heart failure. Use the lowest effective dose and monitor for gastrointestinal bleeding; haemorrhage requires immediate medical attention. Alcohol and corticosteroids interact with it. It is not recommended in the third trimester of pregnancy, and small amounts pass into breast milk.
