Re: Anyone for Gout?

Olfen is Voltarol here...the non branded(generic) is Diclofenac sodium.
A very good NSAID, but I am sure that they don't prescribe it as often as they used to because of the suggestion that it may cause an increase in heart problems....according to studies it increases your chance of having a heart attack by 40%.
It is one of the oldest(and from experience, the best) NSAID's on the market.
