Diclofenac is a medicine that reduces swelling (inflammation) and pain.
It’s used to treat aches and pains, as well as problems with joints, muscles, and bones. These include:
- rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
- sprains and strains in muscles and ligaments
- back pain
- toothache
- migraine
- gout
- ankylosing spondylitis – this causes inflammation of the spine and other parts of the body
Diclofenac comes as tablets and capsules, including slow-release tablets and capsules, and suppositories. These are available on prescription only.
Diclofenac gel and plasters for joint pain are available to buy from pharmacies.
It can also be given as an injection or as eyedrops. These are usually only given in hospitals.
A high-strength diclofenac gel (containing 3% diclofenac) is used to treat actinic keratoses (dry, scaly patches of skin caused by sun damage). This treatment is usually started after assessment by a dermatologist and is not covered here.
