1st tablet caused severe & scary allergic reaction. Totally new experience to me.. Called ambulance , had blue light to A&E. Given adrenaline due to life threatening low blood pressure... Home next day!! Nothing has ever done tho to me before or,since. Lady working at my doctors surgery had exactly the same experience with it as I did...

Comment:
If I miss a dose it is almost impossible to walk up the stairs. I have only taken one a day for the past 11 years and just increased to 2 75 mg per day as my evening I was pretty much in pain again. This does the trick

Comment:
Stomach upset, diarrhea, dizziness,headache and neck stiffness. The sever headaches were the worst part because I couldn't get any relief. It took me several days to figure out that it was the Diclofenac Sodium that was doing this. I will never take it again.
