User12345: Is Voltaren the Right Choice for You?
A-a-all:
Hey everyone! I've been taking Voltaren for a few months now and while it's great to be able to use it, I'm still finding it hard to swallow pills. Can someone explain to me what I should look for in a tablet? Should I stick to a dosing schedule to avoid side effects?
User12345: Ive Taken Voltaren Effectively
Hi A-a-all,
Ive been using Voltaren for a few months and it has helped a ton. I can say that I've noticed a few things that I haven't noticed at all with the higher dosages but I do believe it's the same with Voltaren, and that there is a difference. I've been using it for the past year and it has really helped me with my back pain and backache. Ive noticed some side effects that I would like to mention, but it's not clear to me that those are the most important ones. The side effects that I would like to mention are stomach upset and headaches and back pain. My doctor prescribed Voltaren gel to treat my pain but he didn't know about the side effects of Voltaren and I dont want to be in the same room and have a lot of other people's pain. I don't want to do something that could cause pain but I don't want to be in the same room and have a lot of people's pain.
Hi User12345,
I have used the Voltaren gel twice and I'm surprised you're mentioning it with any confidence. I have a history of back pain and I believe that the higher the dose of Voltaren, the more it helped me with back pain. I would like to know if there is a generic version of Voltaren gel that is less painful but not as harsh on the stomach. I've read in reviews and medical forums that there is a generic version of the gel that can be used and it's been shown to be a good and effective option.
Ive taken the Voltaren gel twice and I am still finding it hard to swallow pills. I am a 45 year old and I'm very happy with the results. I have used the gel several times and it helped my backache. Ive also been using it for years and I was able to take it every day. The only thing that I would recommend is to take the gel on an empty stomach and not to take it on an empty stomach or with food. Ive also used it for years and the results have been amazing.
