Voltaren (diclofenac) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat mild to moderate pain and inflammation in a wide range of conditions. In many respects it is similar to other NSAIDs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, as far as benefits and side effects, but many patients find Voltaren to be more helpful in treating pain from inflammatory conditions that other NSAIDs. Voltaren is not particularly effective as a fever-reducer.
Also like other NSAIDs, Voltaren is usually used as-needed and over the short term; treatment should not exceed 14 consecutive days without doctor approval. Risk of serious side effects increase with length of use.
In addition to the tablets on this page, Voltaren is available in a few other formulas:
Note that patients who have had allergic reactions to any other NSAID are at increased risk of having an allergic reaction to Voltaren. All NSAIDs increase risk of complications if taken in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Taking Voltaren
NSAIDs like this product are often viewed as virtually harmless, perhaps because they are so widely used and often available over-the-counter. Patients seeking relief from pain often think little of taking higher doses or using these products for considerably longer than recommended. Be aware that doing so can produce very serious, even fatal, complications. On the other hand, the reason NSAIDs are so readily available is because they are generally very safe if used as recommended.
Voltaren is used to treat pain and inflammation over the short term from injuries or during flare-ups of chronic conditions, such as:
It should not be used as a long-term treatment to manage chronic conditions like arthritis.
Treatment is similar in all conditions:
As with any medication, taking the smallest effective dose for the shortest amount of time is desirable. However, some patients do take Voltaren for longer than the recommended 14 days; in these cases regular doctor checkups are advisable to monitor for any potentially developing side effects.
Warnings & Side Effects
Used as directed, serious side effects from Voltaren are rare. More common side effects are generally not cause for concern unless severe, including:
Even if using the medication as directed some patients are at increased risk of severe side effects. Be alert for warning signs if there is any history of:
Adverse reactions that warrant immediate medical attention include:
As mentioned above, this product---and all NSAIDs---should be avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy.
