How Can Heart Burn After Taking Diclofenac In A 79-year-old Be Managed?
Yes you can help me I am 78 soon to be 79 and had a tooth pulled 1 week ago and had lots of problems with infection..Yesterday my doctor put me on Diclofenac sodium 50 mg 1 twice a day...I have heart burn right away after I take it with Milk or Orange Juise.
Take it post meals with milk.Have antacid gel like Mucaine, thrice a day. Stay away from tea, coffee and spicy and junk food. You can add a PPI like Pantoprazole once daily (before meals).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
