What Experts Say

Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common complaints seen in outpatient clinics across Pakistan, and NSAIDs like diclofenac remain a mainstay for short term relief of joint, back and muscle pain following injury or arthritis flare ups.

Diclofenac works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes that produce prostaglandins responsible for pain, inflammation and fever. This mechanism gives fast, reliable relief but also explains its impact on the stomach lining and kidney blood flow when the medicine is used for long periods or at high doses.

Because of the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks associated with prolonged NSAID use, doctors generally recommend the shortest effective course at the lowest dose that controls symptoms, and often add a stomach protecting medicine for older patients or those who need longer term therapy for chronic joint disease.
