Side effects after discontinuation
If Diclofenac has been taken for a short time because of acute pain or acute inflammation, it can usually be discontinued without any problems. Usually this does not cause any side effects. If the medication is to be discontinued after a longer period of use, a doctor should be consulted.
If Diclofenac is taken in the context of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, it can only relieve the symptoms and not stop or cure the disease itself. Accordingly, pain and inflammatory processes can reappear directly after discontinuing the drug or with a delay in the course of a so-called rheumatic attack.
