I’ve been having this medication for over a week now. When I has during my holiday I had to buy it from Doha. A different name I think. But for the past few days I’ve been feeling nauseous soo many times during the day. Has anybody else taken this medicine? Had this side effect? I’m assuming the nasuea is because of that

Was on diclofenac for years and no problems. Are you taking a stomach protector? Sometimes it can interact with other medication. Go back and see go as you may be able to take a different nsaid.

Hello

You need to eat foods before you take the medication as it’s a antiflamantory and can cause stomach upset

Doctors do not like perscribing it hear

It's an NSAID like ibuprofen, and they can all upset your stomach. I would speak to your GP

Hi Junny - I’ve been using Diclo topical cream for about 5 years as I have severe arthritis and fibromyalgia. It’s a cream that I rub onto the aching pain but you need to rub it in good - almost massage it in BUT you have to wash it off your hands good because I’ve found if I touch & put anything in my mouth and any trace of cream gets in my mouth - nausea and really bad taste and hard to get rid of! For pain though - excellent medication especially for people like me who don’t want pain meds that are addictive and zone you out!
