Question 3

what are alternatives drugs for a patient with chronic inflammation who is allergic to voltaren (diclofenac)?

Accepted Answer

NSAID allergy: Voltaren (diclofenac) is a member of the group of anti-inflammatory medications called non-steroidals.  Some patients with reactions to these react to several of them, and some react only to a particular one. People who react to many can usually still receive a medication called trilisate or choline magnesium trisalicylate. It does not cross-react with Aspirin or other nsaids. Steroids can also be used.

Question 6

my bf was playing football went in & tackle & instead of finishing tackle he stop(muscle pull) his foot in pain take ice rub & cataflam (diclofenac)  no result yet?

Accepted Answer

Eccentric loading: of a muscle, or that period when youre starting to slow and there is so much stress on a muscle, is a likely time to suffer a pull or a tear. I would expect this to get better in a 1-2 weeks, but if it is not is more likely a tear or ligamentous injury in the foot and will need imaging and exam to be sure. While NSAIDs are good for short periods, they have been shown to possible delay healing too.
