What Experts Say

Diclofenac sodium works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, swelling and fever. This sustained release formulation releases the drug gradually, keeping blood levels steady over 24 hours rather than causing sharp peaks and troughs seen with immediate release tablets.

Clinicians favor sustained release Diclofenac for patients with chronic joint disease because steady dosing reduces the frequency of breakthrough pain and improves adherence. However, non-selective enzyme inhibition also lowers protective gastric prostaglandins, which is why the drug carries a real risk of stomach irritation and ulceration with prolonged use.

Because Diclofenac reduces renal blood flow and can raise blood pressure, doctors monitor kidney function and blood pressure in patients using it long term, especially those with existing heart or kidney conditions. The lowest effective dose for the shortest duration remains the guiding principle in prescribing this medicine.
