What Experts Say

Diclofenac sodium works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, known as COX-1 and COX-2. These enzymes produce prostaglandins, chemicals that trigger pain, swelling and fever in the body. By lowering prostaglandin levels, this medicine eases inflammation at its source rather than simply masking discomfort.

Most people feel pain relief within thirty to sixty minutes of taking a dose. Doctors often prescribe it short term for acute injuries or flare ups, and sometimes longer term for chronic joint conditions under close supervision. Taking it with food or milk helps reduce stomach upset during treatment.

Extended or high dose use of this medicine class carries a known risk of stomach bleeding, ulcers and cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke. Experts recommend using the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed, with extra caution in older adults and people with existing heart, kidney or stomach conditions.
