Dear doctor, please let me know which one is better- diclofenac sodium sr or potassium sr? advantages of diclofenac potassium sr over sodium?

Diclofenac: Diclofenac potassium is water soluble and hence gets absorbed quickly and starts pain relieving activity in a much quicker time than Diclofenac sodium.
