I just took 2 diclofenac sodium 75mg at the same time. Since only one doesn't work at all. Could that hurt me? ## Hello, Turquita20! How are you? Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. It also carries some risks, such as causing stomach damage, increasing the risk of bleeding, causing liver damage or liver failure, so it is very important that you not take more than your doctor has prescribed. Doubling up once likely isn't very risky, but only your doctor can say for sure. It would be best to inform them, as they may want to run some blood work to check your liver function and clotting factor. Is there anything else I can ...

Curious if anyone had headaches while taking this. My Dr put me on this after being on Mobic. I am getting headaches - just curious as to what your Dr changed your meds to. I have pain in my hip and groin from arthritis. ## Yes! I was prescribed this same drug for my bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome until I can have surgery. I just did a google search to try and see if this is a known side effect. I'm getting some raging headaches! I think I will call my doctor and ask if there is another pain reliever I can take. ## I just got put on this for possible post thrombotic syndrom and it's giving me killer headaches. All I can find online is how it's supposed to cure them... ## The irony of NSAIDs is that while they are often used to relieve headaches, they can cause a headache a...

Will this drug raise your sodium level or cause problems for someone on blood presssure medications? Can it cause a problem with your kidneys? ## The sodium in the name just refers to the type of chemical salt it is derived from, so no, it will not raise your sodium levels. However, Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and, as such, it is generally not advised to be used by people with high blood pressure, because it can cause fluid retention, which may lead to congestive heart failure. Has your doctor advised you to use this?

i have strep throat and i was givin a shot that doesnt seem to be working. i have some of these pills left over from when i had a problem before i was wondering scence they are an anti inflamitory if they would help with the shot of pin that i got or if it would mess with it. so is it safe to take even though i got the shot? ## Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so it would only help with pain and not the infection. However, without knowing what was in the shot they gave you, I cannot possibly answer your question. I would need the name of the medication to check for any problems or possible interactions between it and the Diclofenac. Can you post back with this information?

I have inflammation in my back and was taking a pill called Cataflam 50mg but it does not work and still hurts. Can I take a cti 103 (Diclofenac Sodium 75mg) pill instead? Is Cataflam 50mg weaker than Diclofenac Sodium 75mg? ## Hi Evenlyn, Sorry to hear about your back condition. I hope you feel better soon! To answer your question, in short, yes, 50mg is weaker than 75mg. Cataflam is simply another brand name of Diclofenac; so it's pretty much the exact same thing at a different dosage, albeit the suffix is potassium with Cataflam instead of sodium as with the common/standard Diclofenac (& I'm not certain as to whether either mineral makes any notable difference in bioavailability/potency). As to whether or not you can take 75mg instead of 50mg, that's entirely up to yo...

I have been taking diclofenac sod 75 mg ec tab twice a day for about a month, for arthritis in my ankle. It helps early in the day, but does not last until the next pill is due. Same with the one I take in the evening, and when I get up in the morning I can barely walk. Is it possible for these to be prescribed 3 times per day, or would the 100 mg. give me longer coverage, or ? ? ?. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks ## Have you discussed this with your doctor? Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and a higher dose won't necessarily give you a longer time of efficacy, but from what I am reading some people with Arthritis do take it up to 3 times a day, as long as they don't go over 200mgs daily. You may want to discuss it with your doctor, because a 50mg dosage taken...

How is the patient doing? Has there been any change? The FDA patient leaflet for Diclofenac does list dizziness as being a possible side effect, along with nausea, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding, but the fainting is not common. Taking the fainting into consideration, along with the dizziness, the blood pressure medication you said the patient is on, as well as when these issues occur, I am more inclined to think they may be experiencing orthostatic hypotension. ...

How does diclofenac sodium enteric-coated (ec) 75mg tab compare to a percocet 5/325? Does it work the same and is it a narcotic / opiate? ## No, Diclofenac is actually classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, it is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. So it also does not work the same. Has your doctor prescribed it for you? ## I need to know if Diclofenac Sodium Er 75 mg has Morphine in it? ## Hi Shaw - actually no, Diclofenac is its own drug completely different from Morphine. It is not even an opiate medication. Hope this helps!

round pink with GG739 0n it ,what is it. ## Hi Bob, How are you? From what I could gather, the round pink pill you have marked GG 739 is reportedly identified as a 75mg Diclofenac sodium delayed release tablet, used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Like other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) Diclofenac works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation. For verification of the pill's identity, this particular tablet is listed as being manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals. I hope this helps!
