Unless a doctor explicitly recommends otherwise, the tablets with the 25 mg dosage are taken as needed approximately every four to six hours, but no more than three times a day, so that a maximum of 75 mg of diclofenac is not exceeded. (Consequently, the tablets of the 12.5 mg dosage should be taken no more than six times a day) It is best to take the tablets no later than half an hour before or at least two hours after a meal, as this is the quickest way for them to take effect and the least harmful to a sensitive stomach. The effect is fast and relatively long-lasting, averaging six hours. After three to five days of use, the symptoms should improve; if they do not, it is advisable to consult a doctor and ask for help at the latest then.
