What Experts Say
Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that blocks enzymes called cyclooxygenases, or COX enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, redness and fever in the body. This same mechanism explains why the injection can affect the stomach lining and kidneys if used for longer than advised.
Because it acts quickly once injected into a muscle, doctors often choose it for acute pain that needs fast relief, such as after surgery, during a kidney stone episode, or for a sudden gout flare. It is generally prescribed for the shortest time needed, usually one to two days, at the lowest effective dose.
Physicians remain cautious about repeated use in people with heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney problems or a history of stomach ulcers, since NSAIDs like diclofenac can affect all of these systems with prolonged use. Long-term or chronic pain is usually managed with a different, safer long-term approach instead.

Drug Interactions
- Other NSAIDs or aspirin: Combining these raises the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding.
- Blood thinners such as warfarin: Diclofenac can increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants.
- ACE inhibitors and diuretics: This injection can reduce their blood pressure lowering effect and strain the kidneys further.
- Lithium: Diclofenac can raise lithium levels in the blood, increasing the risk of toxicity.
- Methotrexate: Concurrent use can increase methotrexate levels and its associated toxicity.
- Corticosteroids: Combined use further increases the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding.
Risks and warnings
- Heart risk: NSAIDs including diclofenac can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, particularly with repeated use or in people with existing heart disease.
- Kidney function: This injection can reduce blood flow to the kidneys and is used cautiously in people with kidney disease or dehydration.
- Stomach ulcers: There is a risk of stomach irritation, ulcers or bleeding, especially with repeated doses or in people with a history of ulcers.
- Pregnancy: This injection is avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy due to risks to the baby's heart and kidneys.
- Asthma and NSAID sensitivity: People with asthma triggered by aspirin or other NSAIDs may react to diclofenac as well.
- Bleeding disorders: Caution is needed in people on blood thinners or with clotting problems.
