Voltaren

[lesliemarie]

The doctor has given me a prescription for Voltaren and after reading about it I don't know if it is all that good. Has anyone taken this antiflamatory medication? if so did you have any side effects? Since I have IBS I am so carefull on what I take and what I eat as not to irritate it.
I have read about it on Webmd.com but I would like someone who has had personal experience with the medication to tell me what it is like.

I took it years ago and also have IBS altho my IBS was undiagnosed at the time and not as bad as it eventually got. I didn't find it much different than any other NSAID I've tried. And now I actually just take Ibuprofen. I've tried Celebrex, Naprosyn, Feldene and Voltaren and they all worked about the same for me as Ibuprofen.

Thank you so much, I think I am going to stay with my 800mg of Ibuprophin, I only take it once in a blue moon. So I will stay with that, I can tolerate my knee pain pretty good now days it isn't as bad as it used to be, and since I have been doing SS and PP my back is doing tons better, so nice not to have major pain like I used to.
