Frequently Asked Questions

What is diclofenac DR?

Diclofenac DR is a delayed-release tablet of diclofenac sodium, an NSAID sold under the brand name Voltaren. The delayed-release coating lets the tablet pass through the stomach before dissolving, and it is used to treat pain and inflammation from arthritis.

Do I need a prescription for diclofenac 50mg DR?

Yes, oral diclofenac tablets require a valid prescription from a licensed U.S. healthcare provider. This is different from over-the-counter Voltaren gel, which is a topical product.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider or pharmacist reviews your prescription. Once approved, your medication ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy directly to your address.

What conditions does diclofenac DR treat?

Diclofenac DR is FDA-approved to relieve the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It helps reduce joint pain, swelling, and stiffness but does not cure the underlying condition.

How should I take diclofenac DR tablets?

Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it, as this damages the delayed-release coating. Take it exactly as your provider prescribes, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.

Is diclofenac DR the same as Voltaren?

Yes, diclofenac sodium delayed-release tablets are the generic version of the brand Voltaren. Both contain the same active ingredient and are held to the same FDA standards.

What should I avoid while taking diclofenac?

Avoid alcohol, other NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen, and aspirin unless your provider approves. Tell your provider about blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and any history of heart, kidney, liver, or stomach problems.
