A member asked:

My doctor prescribed mylan- diclofenac for shortness of breath cough and tiredness, is this okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diclofenac and cough: It depends on the reason why he prescribed that. At first pass I would say no, its not ok and that you should get him to re-visit this. But it might be for another obscure reason. Please go back and question him thanks
