Has anyone taken Diclofenac Potassium 50mg ( Cataflam)?

I've been prescribed this medication for chronic pain (arthritis) How long does it take for the medication to become effective? What are the common side effects?
Answer:
Cataflam is a NSAID(the same drug class as ibuprofen) it should work fairly quickly. As for side effects you might expect a little bit of upset stomach. Taking the med. with food will lessen that. It could cause a little bit of drowsiness but it's not likely. Also do not take it with any of the OTC pain med such as advil or motrin or aleve.
Diclofenac potassium produce analgesic effects in one hour and antirheumatic effect about two weeks.adverse effects are nausea,discomfort,skin rash peptic ulcer.fluid retention,oedema andhepatic function impairment.
crazy, if It helps you that's great, but the stomach side effects are bad enough, motrin is better!
