What Experts Say
Diclofenac sodium works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and fever. This is the same mechanism shared by most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and it explains both the pain relief and the anti-inflammatory action seen with regular use.
Medical literature consistently flags a cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risk with this drug class, which rises with higher doses and longer use. Regulatory guidance recommends the lowest effective dose for the shortest period that controls symptoms, and the sustained release format is generally reserved for chronic joint conditions rather than brief, mild aches.
People with a history of stomach ulcers, heart disease, or kidney impairment are usually advised to discuss safer alternatives with a doctor first. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and hemoglobin levels is suggested for anyone using this tablet beyond a short course, particularly in older adults.
