What Experts Say
Diclofenac is one of the most widely prescribed painkillers in Pakistan for arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries. It works by blocking chemicals in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Doctors in Pakistan often prescribe Prodium for laborers and factory workers who develop joint and muscle strain from physically demanding work. It gives faster relief than paracetamol alone in cases where inflammation is the main cause of pain.
Like other NSAIDs, Prodium can irritate the stomach lining if taken on an empty stomach or for long periods. Doctors usually recommend taking it after meals and avoiding daily use beyond the prescribed course without medical review.
