Diclofenac SR
Diclofenac SR (Sustained Release) is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain, swelling (inflammation), and joint stiffness caused by arthritis. The 'SR' formulation allows for a slower release of diclofenac into the bloodstream, providing prolonged pain relief.
How is this medication used?
Diclofenac SR should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The medication is usually taken orally, with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. Do not crush, chew, or break the SR tablets as this could affect the sustained-release mechanism.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Diclofenac SR include upset stomach, nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, headache, and dizziness. More serious side effects might include high blood pressure, kidney problems, liver problems, or increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any serious side effects or signs of an allergic reaction.
What are the potential interactions?
Diclofenac SR may interact with other medications such as anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), aspirin, other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, certain antidepressants (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs), and medications to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions. Avoid drinking alcohol as it can increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal products.
