What Experts Say
Diclofenac works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and fever. This mechanism makes it effective for conditions where inflammation is driving the discomfort, such as arthritis, sprains, and soft tissue injuries.
Doctors usually recommend taking it with food or milk to protect the stomach lining, since NSAIDs are well known for causing acidity and, in some cases, ulcers with long term use. Most patients are advised to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
Diclofenac is not ideal for people with heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney problems, and should be used cautiously in older adults. In Pakistan it is widely available and commonly used for everyday aches, but a doctor's advice helps decide if it is the right and safest option.
