| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZIPSOR | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | facial pains | None. | Taken when needed to lower extreme facial pain, nerve branch. Used with food and not just before laying down for bed. Really helps take the edge off. Other posters talked about ulcers and throat pain. Any drug in this category can aggravate your gi track, use with caution, stop at first sign - read the paper work that comes with it. Otherwise this is the most friendly drug in this category. | F | 17 | 3 months 25 1X AN | 3/30/2018 | 4 | Hip and back pain | severe abdominal pain | This medication gave a good deal of relief with only one side effect...it aggravated my ulcer so I had to discontinue use. For those without ulcer issues this is a great medication. | M | 52 | 30 days 25MG 3X day | 7/11/2014 | 4 | Hip joint pain | No side effects | Seems to work better for me than Aleve, Motrin, Advil, etc, with no associated stomach pain. | M | 51 | 15 days 25 mg 2X day | 9/30/2013 | 5 | Bone and Joint pain from Lupus | I was prescribed Zipsor for bone and joint pain associated with Lupus. I also have 3 herniated discs that have been bothering me for years, and for which I have always taken a low dose of Vicodin (almost daily). The Zipsor works well on the Lupus pain, but also almost completely wiped out the pain from the herniated discs, and has replaced my usual narcotic pain relief for my back. As with any disc issues there seems to be the occasional flare up, but when they do occur now they are minor, and once I take my usual dose of Zipsor, the pain is gone again. I have had no recognizable side effects. | F | 46 | 9 months 25mg 3X day | 9/10/2012 | 4 | low back pain, DDD, anular tear L4- | None | Gave pretty good pain relief, with no side effects, and is very fast acting. Better than mobic. | M | 34 | 25mg 3X day | 10/1/2011 | 2 | stiff neck, tightness in shoulders, muscle pain | not recommended | M | 66 | 2 months 25 mg 3X day | 4/28/2011 | 4 | Pharingitis (very sore throat) | Haven't really experienced any side effects thankfully. This medicine seems to work very well | My throat still hurts while on it; however the pain is tolerable and I am able to function through the day until my virus works its course and I am finally over this horrible sore throat! | F | 23 | 7 days 25 mg 4X day | 2/22/2011 | 3 | sciatica | nausea | some pain relief | F | 57 | 1 days 30 mg 3X day | 9/26/2010 |
ZIPSOR (DICLOFENAC POTASSIUM): Diclofenac is used to relieve pain and swelling (inflammation) from various mild to moderate painful conditions. It is used to treat muscle aches, backaches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and sports injuries. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis. Reducing these symptoms helps you do more of your normal daily activities. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section.
