What Experts Say
Diclofenac potassium blocks the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that produce prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain and swelling. The potassium salt dissolves faster than the sodium form, which is why this tablet tends to relieve pain more quickly after a dose.
Pakistani physicians generally recommend using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time, since musculoskeletal pain from arthritis, injury, and muscle strain is common but long term NSAID use carries added risk. Short courses are preferred whenever the underlying pain is expected to settle on its own.
Before prescribing, doctors typically weigh a patient's stomach and cardiovascular risk, since both organ systems can be affected by regular NSAID use. Older patients and those with reduced kidney function are monitored more closely, because diclofenac can reduce blood flow to the kidneys during treatment.
