What Experts Say

Diclofenac works by blocking enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. This gives fast relief in conditions like arthritis and muscle injury.

Diclomac tablet is usually taken two to three times daily, and taking it with food or milk lowers the chance of stomach upset. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.

Like other NSAIDs, it carries a risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, and cardiovascular problems with long term or high dose use. People with heart disease, kidney disease, or a history of stomach ulcers should use it only under medical supervision.
