What Experts Say

Diclofenac blocks the enzymes that produce pain and swelling signals in the body, making it effective for both arthritis and short term injury pain.

Lopran is usually taken with food two to three times daily, and the lowest effective dose for the shortest time is recommended.

Stomach pain, black stools, yellowing of the skin, or swelling should be reported promptly, since diclofenac can affect the stomach, liver, and heart with prolonged use.
