Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you take Voltaren

It is important that you use the lowest dose that relieves your pain and do not take this medicine for longer than necessary to control your symptoms.

Do not take Voltaren

  • if you are allergic to diclofenac sodium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you are allergic or have had allergic reactions to acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or other analgesics (pain-relieving medicines) similar to Voltaren. Reactions may include asthma (difficulty breathing), chest pain, hives (allergic skin reaction with itching), acute rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa) or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, and/or limbs (signs of angioedema). If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor.
  • if you have had a stomach or duodenal ulcer or have suffered from more than one episode of stomach or intestinal perforation while taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine.
  • if you currently have or have had more than one episode of stomach or duodenal ulcer or bleeding.
  • if you have active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (diseases that cause diarrhea with or without blood and abdominal pain).
  • if you have severe kidney disease.
  • if you have severe liver disease.
  • if you have established heart disease and/or cerebrovascular disease, for example, if you have had a heart attack, stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or have had an operation to remove a blockage or perform a coronary bypass.
  • if you have problems with blood circulation (peripheral arterial disease).
  • if you are in the third trimester of pregnancy.
  • if you have blood coagulation disorders.

Make sure your doctor knows before taking diclofenac:

  • if you smoke
  • if you have diabetes
  • if you have angina, blood clots, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides

Side effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Voltaren:

  • if you have had or developed a stomach or duodenal ulcer or bleeding, which may be manifested by severe abdominal pain or black stools, even without prior warning signs.

This risk is higher when using high doses and prolonged treatment in patients with a history of peptic ulcers and in the elderly. In these cases, your doctor may consider prescribing a stomach protective medicine.

  • if you have any of the following conditions: asthma, mild heart disease, liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, or other blood disorders, including porphyria.
  • if you are taking medicines for high blood pressure or ciclosporin, as this may increase the risk of kidney damage (see section “Other medicines and Voltaren”).
  • if you are taking medicines that affect blood clotting or increase the risk of ulcers, such as oral anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents like acetylsalicylic acid. You should also discuss the use of other medicines that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, corticosteroids, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (see section “Other medicines and Voltaren”).
  • if you have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, as medicines like Voltaren may worsen these conditions.
  • if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides, diabetes, or are a smoker (cardiovascular risk factors), your doctor should regularly reassess whether you should continue treatment with this medicine, especially if you have been taking it for more than 4 weeks.
  • if you have liver or kidney failure, or blood disorders, you will need to have regular blood tests during treatment to monitor liver (transaminase levels) or kidney (creatinine levels) function or blood (lymphocyte, erythrocyte, and platelet levels). This will allow your doctor to decide whether to stop or change the dose of this medicine.
  • if you have recently undergone or are about to undergo stomach or intestinal surgery, as this medicine may sometimes worsen the healing of intestinal wounds after surgery.
  • if you have ever had a severe skin rash or peeling, blisters, or sores in the mouth after taking Voltaren or other pain-relieving medicines.

Patients with cardiovascular problems

Medicines like Voltaren may be associated with an increased risk of heart attacks (“myocardial infarction”) or strokes, especially when used in high doses and for prolonged treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.

If you have heart problems, a history of strokes, or think you may be at risk of having them (for example, you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or are a smoker) and your doctor decides to treat you with this medicine, do not take more than 100 mg per day if the treatment lasts more than 4 weeks.

Additionally, these types of medicines can cause fluid retention, especially in patients with heart disease and/or high blood pressure.

It is very important to take the lowest effective dose of this medicine for the shortest possible time to relieve pain and/or inflammation to reduce the risk of cardiovascular side effects.

If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, or difficulty speaking while taking this medicine, contact your doctor immediately.

Other medicines and Voltaren

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

Certain medicines may interfere with Voltaren; in these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or stop treatment with one of them.

It is important that you inform your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any of the following medicines:

  • medicines containing lithium or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (for treating certain types of depression),
  • medicines containing methotrexate (for treating rheumatoid arthritis and cancer),
  • medicines containing ciclosporin, tacrolimus (after transplants),
  • medicines containing trimethoprim (for preventing and treating urinary tract diseases),
  • medicines for treating heart problems (digoxin, calcium antagonists such as verapamil or isradipine),
  • medicines used to treat diabetes, except insulin,
  • medicines for controlling blood pressure (diuretics, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors),
  • medicines for preventing blood clots,
  • medicines containing quinolone or ceftriaxone (for treating infections),
  • other medicines of the same group as Voltaren (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as acetylsalicylic acid or ibuprofen,
  • corticosteroids (medicines that reduce inflammation and the action of the immune system),
  • medicines containing voriconazole (a medicine used in the treatment of fungal infections),
  • medicines containing phenytoin (a medicine used to treat epileptic seizures),
  • medicines containing misoprostol (for treating stomach ulcers),
  • medicines containing cholestyramine and colestipol for reducing cholesterol levels in the blood),
  • medicines containing pentazocine (for relieving pain),
  • the antibiotic rifampicin (used to treat bacterial infections).

Taking Voltaren with food, drinks, and alcohol

This medicine should be taken preferably before meals or on an empty stomach, as this delays the onset of action.

Consuming alcoholic beverages with this medicine may increase its toxicity.

Children and adolescents

The use of this medicine is not recommended in children and adolescents under 14 years of age.

Elderly patients

Elderly patients, especially those who are frail or have low body weight, may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine than other adults. It is especially important that elderly patients inform their doctor immediately of any side effects that occur.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Pregnancy

Do not take this medicine if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm your baby or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney or heart problems in your baby. It may affect your tendency and your baby's tendency to bleed and may prolong or delay delivery more than expected. You should not take this medicine during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless clearly necessary and as directed by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time. If you take this medicine for more than a few days from the 20th week of pregnancy, it may cause kidney problems in your baby, which may lead to low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional monitoring.

Breastfeeding

Small amounts of diclofenac may appear in breast milk; therefore, you should not take this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

Fertility

For women of childbearing age, it should be noted that medicines like Voltaren have been associated with a decrease in fertility.

Driving and using machines

Diclofenac's influence on the ability to drive and use machines is negligible. However, patients who experience visual disturbances, dizziness, vertigo, somnolence, or other central nervous system disorders while taking Voltaren should avoid driving vehicles or operating machinery.

Voltaren contains lactose and sodium.

This medicine contains lactose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

3. How to take Voltaren
