Diclofenac 100mg

What is the difference between the ER suffix and the DR suffix? ## In action of the medication, there is no difference. One stands for delayed released and one for extended release, but they both refer to the same thing, a medication that is in a time released formulation. There are several different abbreviations you may see for this, the ones you listed and SR or XR are also commonly used. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include: nausea, headache, dizziness and stomach irritation.

pain ## I have a case of GOUT..I was given a Rx for Diclofenaco (100mg) ans also a Rx for Nediclon (diclofenaco) 100mg...I don't know the daily dosage for these 2 drugs...I'm 61 years old...I took these before and it cleared up my gout attack in 3 days...can someone advie as to what the breakdown is for these 2 Rx drugs...thankyou, Glenn ## If you received a prescription then you must follow the dosing schedule as given on the prescription from your doctor. If you have trouble understanding it, then please speak to your doctor or pharmacist. ## from what i undestand, gout is largely trigged by what you eat - like pork, or asparagus or mushrooms. If it bothers you that bad, google a list a foods that increase uric acid and that should help.

I have Diclofenac capsuls in 100ml and cannot find them in any information, or on the identification site they are yellow-purple and say diclofenaco 100mg on the yellow part of the capsule. Are these time release type of capsules? ## Can you tell me what country these are from? I am not finding anything with this marking to tell you whether it is time released or regular. Did you obtain them from a pharmacy? And I assume you meant 100mgs?

I have been prescribed diclofenaco for arthritis. I have used it twice, thinking the first reaction might be caused by something else.After 2 mos. I tried it again (1 pill,, 100mgs.) and, again, within a couple of hours acquired excruciating muscle pain in my legs. Also increased joint pain. This lasted for about 11 hrs., and was relieved only by an injection of , first, temgesic ( synthetic morphine) which took the edge off for a little while, and then Nalbufina (this is in Mexico).My doctor does not seem to believe that the diclofenaco could be resposible and I was` wondering if anyone has had a similar reaction. ## There are always people who react that way to some drugs, none of them work for everyone and some cause quite the opposite effect of what they are supposed to. ## Yes I ha...

I was given diclofenaco 100mg in Mexico and I was pain free in 2 days. Can't count the pills I've taken over the years to no avail. Surgery and fusing is all my US doctors could see as a cure. Only take it for flare ups and 1-2 tops. Wish I had found this years ago. Was on the "disabled" list for 3 years. Been working now 1.5 years without a hitch. ## Hi, Tom! Wow! I'm very glad that you found something that worked. In the U.S. this is only available by prescription as the generic Diclofenac or the name brand Voltaren, there may be a few others as well. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so I do need to add some important information for you, long-term usage of this medication could cause increased blood pressure, fluid retention, stomach ulceration and/or liver...

Can you take Tylenol with Diclofenac sod 100mg to relieve lower back pain? ## From what I could gather, there are no drug interactions or contraindications listed between Tylenol and Diclofenac. So based on that information, you should be fine taking the two together without experiencing any such complications. The main concern with Tylenol (acetaminophen) in my honest opinion, is just staying within safe dosing limits, due to it's notorious reputation for causing liver damage at higher doses and/or when taken for a prolonged period of time. I hope this info helps. Get well soon! ## i am taking nexito forte is it any indication in blood result such as show hepetitise ## My Dr. said that taking a diclofenac and one tylenol and the same time boosts the pain relief. Anyone know anythin...

why did they change tablets,where there harful?? ## From the limited information I can find, I am still seeing it listed as containing: 100mgs of Phenylbutazone (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory): 200mgs of Methocarbamol (a muscle relaxant): and Dexamethasone (a corticosteroid): As to if it changed or why, I really do not have that information. From your listing the only thing that has changed is the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. The company may have changed it due to problems with it or complaints. Does anyone else have information about the ingredient change? ## I need Knee surgery for a torn meniscus. can the runoquin-n-f drug cause long term side effects

Do Lady-Era tablets work for men? If so, how does it compare to Sildenafil citrate 100mg? ## According to the Australian Government's Department of Health, Lady-Era tablets supposedly pose a threat to public health and should not be taken at all, due to containing an undeclared substance ~ Diclofenac (at a prescription-level dose). They also go on to note that the supply of Lady-Era tablets is sourced illegally and the medication itself has not been evaluated. Ref: tga.gov.au/alert/lady-era-tablets Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which from my 'male perspective' doesn't seem to serve any purpose for one's libido... However, my theory is that it may have been put into this product to help alleviate pain for females during intercourse. Lady-Era al...

The generic form (Diclofen Sod Tab 100mg ER) does not keep me pain free like the Diclofenac 100mg ER tab. What is the difference between these drugs????? ## what is the brand name for this medication and what is the difference between the two? ## Both medications mentioned in the original post are generics, from what has been posted, they were just abbreviated differently on the prescription label. I can't even say for sure if they were made by difference companies, since no other specific information was provided. There can sometimes be slight fluctuations from one manufacturer to another.

What is the pain killing strength of a norco M 355 ## Hi Debbie, Just to clarify a couple of things - M 355 is actually reported to be a 100mg Diclofenac sodium extended-release tablet, made by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. It has no apparent relation to Norco other than the fact that it can also be used for pain relief; just not nearly as strong in my opinion. In terms of "pain killing strength", drug monographs describe Diclofenac as being used to relieve mild to moderate pain, whereas Norco is described as being used to relieve moderate to severe pain. I hope this helps!

It is a small round light orange pill with a fish symbol and a negative sign out to the side and on the other side is the numbers 717. ## Light Orange 717 On One Side And A Fish Symbol On One Side ## It is always fascinating to me how virtually anything from colors to logos are relative and may be interpreted differently by whomever happens to be looking at them. This is a great example of why, when someone posts including the color of a pill, I always check among similar colored ones, as well. This same logo has been interpreted by others to be an awareness ribbon, such as those used for breast cancer and AIDS. This pill actually has a stylized R logo on it, with the number 717 and it contains 100mgs of Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain...
