What Experts Say

Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, swelling and fever. The injectable form is used for short courses only, usually one to two days, since it delivers strong pain relief quickly through the intramuscular route.

Musculoskeletal pain, post-surgical pain and renal colic are common reasons doctors across Pakistan turn to injectable diclofenac when oral tablets are not fast enough or the patient cannot swallow. Physicians usually limit injectable use to the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time to reduce the risk of stomach and kidney related side effects.

Experts recommend switching to oral pain relievers once the acute pain episode settles, rather than continuing repeated injections. Blood pressure, kidney function and stomach symptoms are monitored closely in patients who need diclofenac for more than a few days or who have existing heart or kidney disease.
