Hi
Diclogesic is a very good analgesic drug.It reduces inflammation and pain related to musculoskeletal disorders.
Long term use such as three to four weeks should be avoided due to the side effects.
Nausea,gastritis,aggravation of peptic ulcer,salt and water retention, constipation or diarrhoea can occur. H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors can be taken to avoid gastritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
