What Experts Say

Given by injection, diclofenac reaches the bloodstream quickly, making it useful when fast, strong pain relief is needed and tablets are not suitable, such as during renal colic or after surgery.

It works by blocking the enzymes that produce the chemicals behind pain and inflammation. Because it is potent, it is usually given as a short course, often followed by oral treatment once the acute pain settles.

As with all NSAIDs, it can affect the stomach, kidneys and heart, so it is used cautiously in people with ulcers, kidney disease or cardiovascular conditions. The injection is given by trained staff, usually deep into a muscle.
