What is Combaren Diclofenac the medication, and for what is it used?

Question

I see it sometimes listed with Codeine. Sometimes called Oxa Forte? Anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

Diclofenac (marketed as Voltaren®, Voltarol®, Diclon®, Dicloflex® Difen, Difene, Cataflam® and Rhumalgan®) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) taken to reduce inflammation and an analgesic reducing pain in conditions such as in arthritis or acute injury. It can also be used to reduce menstrual pain.

In the United Kingdom and the United States it may be supplied as either the sodium or potassium salt, while in some other countries only as the potassium salt. Diclofenac is available as a generic drug in a number of formulations. Over the counter (OTC) use is approved in some countries for minor aches and pains and fever associated with common infections.

Diclofenac is well-tolerated after 30 years experience by the general human population, but may unexpectedly become intolerated in some of the elderly population of long term users.[citation needed]

It has been reported that veterinary diclofenac use in India has caused a crash of the vulture population,[1] with "major ecological consequences" and a sub-cultural Zoroastrian Parsi "sky burial" crisis.[2] Diclofenac causes kidney failure in vultures that eat treated domestic animals.

Answer 3

I never cease to be amused at those who thing that salicin from willow bark is somehow superior to salicin from an aspirin tablet. I use whatever WORKS; a chemical is a chemical.
