Hi
Does anyone know whether Diclophenac is still available to buy over the counter in pharmacies without prescription?
Thanks

Many thanks - I know someone who is coming out in a few weeks and wants to buy some. Not available in UK?

I think that Diclophenac in low strength. 50mg can be bought over the counter. In pills or suppositaries. The latter are very effective, especially for people who find taking oral inflammatories upset their digestive system. Stronger dose meds presumeably will need a prescription.

Yes it is, I get it from my local pharmacy as and when required.
Many thanks - 100mg is what they are looking for.

Long term use of Diclofenac is potentially dangerous - increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Doctors advise only use the drug for 7 days at a time. Also see
