INDICES> Diclofenac ADR profile?
--------------------------------
[rerouted from E-drug due to technical content]

Dear All,

We have experienced  an unexplained adverse drug reaction with Diclofenac
Injection {in a young person). I would be grateful to you if you could share
with me
your own experience of  ADR with this drug in its injectable form.

[What ADR did you experience? It would help to present the INDICES readers
with some info that could also be news to them!
Diclofenac injection has several serious side-effects. Some African
countries are trying to limit the use of diclofenac injection to
specialists. This is not a good drug in the hands of general health workers.
Oral is much safer, and often as effective.
Do you have access to a Martindale on general Formulary? If not, maybe some
INDICES reader can recommend some sources of ADR profiles on the Internet?
