What is Diclofenac Sodium used for?

Diclofenac Sodium, the active ingredient in Voltaren, is commonly used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It may also help with general muscle pain, back pain, and postoperative discomfort. This medication works by blocking substances in the body that cause pain and swelling.

Avoid using Voltaren if you have a known allergy to diclofenac or other NSAIDs. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have stomach ulcers, kidney issues, or heart conditions.

What does Diclofenac Sodium interact with?
