Voltarol Rapid Tablets (Diclofenac Potassium 50mg) are rapid action effective painkillers that can give you much faster relief from pain compared to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is usually prescribed to treat mild arthritic symptoms or swollen joints. However, Voltarol Rapid has many other uses, such as for gout and lower back pain.
Common side effects include: common side effects of Diclofenac: drowsiness or feeling dizzy, nausea (feeling sick.), diarrhoea, stomach ache (this is made more likely by taking Diclofenac with another NSAID), stomach Ulcers (this is made more likely by smoking and drinking alcohol), loss of appetite, skin rash, peeling, blistering, itching or swelling, shortness of breath, etc. Side effects may vary from one person to the next, as with any medication. You should always read the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) before taking this or any other medication.
