Voltaren FAQS
Is Voltaren a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) or a member of the NSAID family? I've used Voltaren for about two years. What dose of Voltaren is right for you? Is it suitable for everybody?
The Voltaren comes in a gel form, as this works in a diclofenac system to reduce inflammation and swelling, while also being able to offer short-term relief for acute conditions. What is the difference between Voltaren gel (Voltaren) and other anti-inflammatory medications?
Voltaren is available as a gel or suppository, as an injection, and has a dual benefit and short-term (long-lasting) effect. It's also available in tablet form so it can be used for acute pain, inflammation, swelling and bruising (especially on the back). However, there are some drawbacks to using Voltaren, the most notable being the potential for side effects such as stomach upset and pain. Its also important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting this medication to ensure it's suitable for your condition.
Can I take it with food?
Yes, it's important to take Voltaren with food to avoid any possible gastrointestinal issues such as stomach upset or pain. You should avoid taking Voltaren with dairy products, which can impact its absorption into your body and lead to stomach upset and stomach ulcers.
Is it safe for me to use it for long periods of time?
Yes, it's generally safe for most people and should be avoided if possible for longer periods of time. However, I found that I was often more sensitive to the side effects of Voltaren compared to other NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen. Its important to keep in mind that these are all COX-2 inhibitors and NSAIDs should not be used alongside other medications to prevent stomach bleeding.
Can I take it with other medications?
Yes, I can use it as a supplement or suppository, both for short-term relief. However, it's important to tell your healthcare provider about all other medications you're taking to avoid any potential interactions. I recommend always consulting with a doctor before starting any new medication.
Is Voltaren safe to use if I have a stomach ulcer?
Yes, Voltaren is a safe to use if taken with other medications like aspirin or NSAIDs, as long as they are taken according to the recommended dosing schedule.
Does Voltaren have a long-term side effect profile?
Yes, it has been studied for several years for its long-term safety. However, I like the fact that it's safe to use for short-term relief. The fact that its not as common as Voltaren is that people can use it with other medications, like naproxen or ibuprofen helps to maintain its long-term safety for many people.
Do any other NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors like ibuprofen or naproxen affect my stomach or digestive system?
Yes, it can affect my digestive system, which is important if you have stomach ulcers or have heart disease. Some other NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors like ibuprofen or naproxen have the potential to affect my digestive system, which can cause digestive side effects such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and stomach discomfort.
Can I use it with other medications?
Yes, some other NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors like ibuprofen or naproxen can affect my digestive system, which can cause digestive side effects such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and stomach upset. It's important to tell your healthcare provider about all other medications you're taking to avoid any potential interactions.
