how many pills a day do you take and for how long?

After observing the response to initial therapy with Voltaren, the dose and frequency should be adjusted to suit an individual patient's needs. For the relief of osteoarthritis, the recommended dosage is 100-150 mg/day in divided doses (50 mg b.i.d. or t.i.d., or 75 mg b.i.d.). For the relief of rheumatoid arthritis, the recommended dosage is 150-200 mg/day in divided doses (50 mg t.i.d. or q.i.d., or 75 mg b.i.d.). For the relief of ankylosing spondylitis, the recommended dosage is 100-125 mg/day, administered as 25 mg q.i.d., with an extra 25-mg dose at bedtime if necessary. But it is just information. Only your doctor can prescribe the dose and for how long to take it.

Voltaren is not contra-indicated for people with diabetes.

I take a voltaren tablet every night before i go to bed for the pain in my lower back, as it is the only pill that helps me. I suffer with an undiagnosed back pain, and if i dont take my voltaren tablet every night i cannot sleep. Will this casue long term damage to me? Will it cause any inflamation or damage to my internal organs? I amvry concerned about taking this pill constantly and it seems i will continue taking it for a very long time. thank you

Unfortunately, Voltaren may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term.
