Diclofenac effectively reduces inflammation and pain in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is comparable to other NSAIDs but may have more gastrointestinal side effects.
Diclofenac is a potent NSAID commonly used for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, offering comparable efficacy to ibuprofen and naproxen but may carry a higher risk of cardiovascular events.
