Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
The dose will be on the pharmacist's label. Check the label carefully. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep using the suppositories for as long as you have been told, unless you have any problems. In that case, check with your doctor.
Suppositories are designed for insertion into the back passage (rectum).
Never take them by mouth.
The doctor may also prescribe another drug to protect the stomach to be taken at the same time, particularly if you have had stomach problems before, or if you are elderly, or taking certain other drugs as well.
The recommended dose is:
Adults: One Diclofenac Sodium Suppository may be inserted as a once daily treatment, usually at night.
As a general principle, the smallest effective dose should be used, and for the shortest time. Side effects can worsen with increased use.
Elderly: If you are elderly, your doctor may want to reduce the usual adult dosage and to check that the medicine is suiting you, especially during the first four weeks of treatment. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and to keep your appointments.
Use in children and adolescents: Diclofenac Sodium Suppositories are not recommended for use in children. Where necessary, you can use other medicines (tablets taken by mouth) with your suppository. Diclofenac Sodium Suppositories may be combined with oral (to be taken by mouth) tablets.
Your doctor may want to monitor you.
