Diclofenac can be used for chronic pain, effective for inflammation and pain relief. However, its long-term use raises concerns about gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risks, similar to other NSAIDs.
Compared to other NSAIDs, diclofenac is potent but carries similar long-term risks such as gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney issues. It’s crucial to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration.
