What Experts Say

Diclofenac works by blocking enzymes called COX-1 and COX-2, which lowers the chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, redness, and fever. This makes it effective for short term pain from injuries and dental work, as well as ongoing joint conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Painrest tablets are usually taken with food or milk, since this lowers the chance of stomach irritation that can occur with regular NSAID use. Doctors generally recommend the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed to control pain and swelling.

Long term or high dose use raises the risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, and heart related problems such as raised blood pressure. Anyone with a history of ulcers, heart disease, or kidney problems should discuss safer pain relief options with their doctor first.
