And what can I do? ## This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, according to FDA reports, it just starts to lose efficacy. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. How are you feeling? Have you experienced any issues?

I am having severe back pain travelling to abdomen. Tried several pain killers like Diclofenac and HIfenac-D, Nicoxia MR but when i take Nimessulide (Nice) it helps in drastically reducing the pain. Wonder why Nimesulide helps and other pain killers are not that effective ? Can i take Nimesulide for long term ? ## Have you had any testing done to see what's causing the pain? The Nimesulide is a different type of anti-inflammatory pain reliever, since it's a Cox-2 inhibitor. Learn more Nimesulide details here. It's claimed to be somewhat safer than others, but you really should consult your doctor, as none of them are usually very safe for long-term use. ## I was having severe Back Ace it was difficult for me to sit & after that to Stand.I took treatment with ortho leadin...

My mother has a bad sciatic nerve which causes her pain quite frequently. This morning, she was looking for her Diclofenac and couldn't find it, so she took the last two Aleve and laid down. I found them for her, but now we're unsure if she can take one so soon after taking Aleve. It's been about 20 minutes since she took them. Is it alright for her to take her Diclofenac? ## No, these are both non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, so that would essentially be doubling up and she should not do so, without her doctor's approval. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

i am taking 75mg of diclofenac twice a day. How safe is this drug. the internet says it is the most dangerous of all nsaids. Is this true at this dosage? ## Hi Roger, From what I could gather, the usual adult dose of Diclofenac ranges from 25-50 mg orally 3 to 4 times a day or 75 mg orally twice a day. Diclofenac Extended-release dosages are usually administered at 100 mg orally once a day. A number of webpages also make a point of mentioning that the maximum daily dose of Diclofenac is: 225 mg; or 200 mg if you're taking the extended release version. In my opinion, 75mg twice daily (150 mg total daily dose) should be fine for most individuals. However, dangerous side effects can happen with any drug depending the person. It's probably not something you'd want to take long t...

I am taking diclofenac and was wondering how long is safe to take it (75 mg twice a day) and when I am ready to stop taking it - is there a way the dosage is supposed to be decreased over time? ## In regards to medications like Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, there is no set time limit that is safe to take them. Long-term use may cause damage or failure of the liver, or ulceration of the stomach, but there is no way to know if it will happen to any given person undergoing treatment. And no, it isn't addictive like opiates, so a tapering usually isn't needed, though if someone has been taking it for awhile, they may experience some minor rebound effects. Learn more Diclofenac details here. Are there any other questions or comments?

I would like to know if there are any possible side effects from taking diclofenac 50mg and zetia and topamax. I would also like to know what smoking has to do with diclofenac,and also methotrexate. Thank-You ## Methotrexate is extremely toxic and needs to be taken with folic acid. Diclofenac is hectic on your stomach ## I didn't find any interactions listed between the mentioned medications, but it's always wise to double check such information to be safe. However, there is an issue with taking the Diclofenac and the Methotrexate at the same time, since the NSAID tends to increase the levels of the Methotrexate, which could be dangerous.

I have diclofenac that was prescribed 9 / 2013, is it still okay to use? ## This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose effectiveness, so it may not work as well as it did, when new.

Thus, it would be best to dispose of the expired medication and obtain a new supply, if you still need to take it.

How safe is it to use Tribedoce injection after the expiration date? This injection is Complejo B and Diclofenaco solution. Need to know if recommended to use after expiration date ## No, it is not recommended. Liquids, in any form, tend to go bad faster than solid formulations, and they can actually go fully rancid, which may actually make you ill, and could cause an infection if used past the expiration. If you still require this medication, it would be best to see your doctor, and obtain a fresh supply. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Diclofenac injections as possibly including administration site irritation, redness, soreness, bruising, and increased risk of bleeding.

can i give my dog which has arthritis diclofenac sodium,dog weighs about 85-95 ponds yes a lil over weight,but we are working on his diet ## @Big Mac, Because each type of dog reacts to medications differently, just as humans do, I think it would ultimately be best to contact your local veterinary office regarding this inquiry. From what I've read myself, I honestly wouldn't recommend it for a dog. If a dog were to ingest a human dose of this medication it could possibly be fatal. Diclofenac can also cause more damage in dogs than in humans with regards to the severity of side effects. I know it must hurt to see your dog in pain, but it sounds like it's definitely worth making sure he gets the right kind of treatment, just to be safe. Hope this helps!
