I HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR DICLOFENAC SODIUM, 75 MG., WHICH I HAD BEEN USING DAILY BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOTTLE SAID: 2X DAILY. I TOOK IT FOR APPROX. FOR 6 MONTHS. MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR SAID TO TAKE IT SPARINGLY. SHE SAID DAILY 2X A DAY WAS WAY TOO MUCH. I RECENTLY VISITED A PAIN MGMT. DOCTOR WHO HAD PRESCRIBED THE DRUG IN THE FIRST PLACE. SHE SAID NOT TO TAKE IT MORE THAN 3X A WEEK, AND PRESCRIBED 50 MG. TABLETS.
I HAVE JUST READ AN ARTICLE ON LINE RE: THE COMBINATION OF DICLOFENAC AND MISOPROSTOL WHICH STATED THIS COMBO IS USED TO PROTECT STOMACH IRRITATION.
SHOULD I ASK MY DOCTOR ABOUT SWITCHING TO THE ABOVE COMBO?
I ALSO TAKE 3 DIFFERENT BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS DAILY, LISINPROL, METROPOLOL, AND ONE MORE WHICH I CAN'T REMEMBER.

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
