Diclofenac SR is the generic name for a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat acute and chronic pain with an inflammatory element.

The SR in this product's name indicates it's the sustained release version, meaning it's taken less often than regular tablets. Patients usually buy diclofenac SR under the name Voltaren SR. There are also several similar products available:

• Voltaren tablets are the regular formula of diclofenac SR; these are taken two to four times per day. They can be split and crushed if desired.
• Voltaren Rapid is a fast-acting formula ideal for migraine headaches. Though it works faster than other forms, it also wears off faster.
• Voltaren Emulgel is a topical solution ideal for joint, muscle and tendon pain. Applied to the skin, risk of side effects are considerably reduced.

Diclofenac SR is typically used in patients 14 years old and up. Parents should not buy diclofenac SR for younger children without explicit doctor approval. Younger patients will likely be closely monitored for developing side effects.

Treatment Overview

As an NSAID diclofenac SR offers benefits and drawbacks similar to other medications in this category. While it does have fever-reducing properties, it's generally not preferred for fever. Its greatest strength is in reducing inflammation and the pain that accompanies it; for this purpose it can be used in both acute and chronic conditions. Note that this product will have little effect on pain that doesn't have an inflammatory element.

Patients often buy diclofenac SR to help reduce pain from:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Osteoarthritis
• Gout
• Migraines
• Menstrual cramps
• Bursitis
• Tendinitis
• Sports injuries
• Muscle sprains & strains

Dosage can be somewhat variable according to the level of pain and patient response. The majority of users find somewhere between 50 mg and 100 mg to be effective, with 75 mg being average. In most cases diclofenac SR is taken just once per day, though some patients take it twice per day at 12-hour intervals.

Treatment should be for as short a duration as possible; the risk of serious side effects increases with duration of use as well as dosage strength. Treatment typically lasts for a few days to several weeks. Patients are advised to seek doctor input if using diclofenac SR for more than two consecutive weeks. Longer treatment does happen fairly often, but a doctor may want to screen for any developing side effects.

Doses of diclofenac SR are best taken with food or milk, though it isn't strictly necessary. Many patients experience reduced stomach-related side effects if taking tablets with food, some of which can be serious, like stomach ulcers. On the other hand, effects may be stronger if taken on an empty stomach.

Before You Buy Diclofenac SR

Like all NSAIDs, diclofenac SR does increase risk of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular events. Those with any history of such---especially if associated with NSAIDs---may want to consider alternative products rather than buy diclofenac SR. Patients should be alert for symptoms of the above, which include:

• Tender or painful abdomen
• Blood in stools or vomit
• Difficulty breathing
• Chest pain
• Severe confusion
• Changes in urination
• Severe headache

Women who are pregnant should avoid use of this or any other NSAID during the third trimester, as they can cause complications during childbirth.

Note that individuals who have had an allergic reaction to other NSAIDs may have one to diclofenac SR. This can be tested by a doctor prior to taking an entire tablet.
