A member asked:
Diclofenac can be taken after some beers?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not recommended: Both alcohol & NSAID medications are hard on the stomach lining, both can cause direct chemical injury. I would not recommend diclofenac within 4 hours of the alcohol ingestion.

Alcohol & NSAIDS: Alcohol is a diuretic, it causes dehydration. If you take diclofenac after drinking you can hurt your kidneys. The kidneys need water to work well. One of the most common causes of kidney disease is use of nsaids. To prevent a hangover after drinking rehydrate yourself.
