What Experts Say

Diclofenac works by blocking COX enzymes, which lowers the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling and fever. In this extended release capsule form, the drug is released slowly, giving steady pain relief across the day from a single dose.

In Pakistan, Visodic Capsule 100mg is commonly used for chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis, acute back pain and muscle strains, since one capsule a day is easier to remember than multiple tablets. Doctors typically recommend taking it with food to reduce stomach irritation.

Long term daily use is best avoided without medical review, since NSAIDs carry stomach, kidney and cardiovascular risks that grow with continued use. Anyone with a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease or heart problems should discuss safer alternatives with their doctor first.
