"Recently had this prescribed for debilitating menstrual cramps, so I stopped my ibuprofen regimen and the next day started diclofenac 75mg extended release. I swear it's like not taking anything at all. At first I thought it had taken the edge off the cramps, but at 12 hours almost to the dot it wore off, so I took a second, which isn't doing anything. Will try this again next month when I can start taking it in advance of the pain, but as of right now this has been a completely useless medication."

"Every month I got my severe period pain. It hurt that bad I'm not able to walk and doing any chores. I often skip classes at university for the first 3 days during period. I took several medicines to relieve my pain such naproxen, acetaminophen but the reaction is slow and minor. After I take diclofenac sodium 150mg my pain become lesser and faster.."

"I have taken 3 so far since I’ve gotten them yesterday my periods have been very..... BAD since I got my tubes tied In 2008. The first 3 days are horrible - seriously. But since I’ve taken the diclofenac my cramps are no longer bad at all. I feel good but it’s making my period go off I’m trying to see if it’s suppose to do that. Also I keep having diarrhea from the medicine that’s my only problem"

Cataflam (diclofenac) "This has helped my period a lot. I’ve realized that taking it leading up to my period it has caused it to come a day later than normal but maaaaaannnnnnn it is so good. I use the dispersable cataflam because I can’t swallow pills for both migraine and period pain and it works like a charm. 10/10 would recommend."

Cataflam (diclofenac) "Usually I take 2 tablets of Panadol and it works in 30 minutes, but this time I tried 2 tablets of Cataflam 50 mg and it SUCKS!!! It’s been an hour, the pain is incredibly intense and I have dizziness and nausea because of it. I’m only feeling worse!!"

Cataflam (diclofenac) "Yes. This is ouch again. I took the first one around midday and it took about five hours to kick in but when it did I have to say I'll take back that rating of 1 and give a 9 because its working so well. I forgot I even have my period. Only thing is it has kind of burned my stomach and made the pain doubly worse before stopping it completely."

Cataflam (diclofenac) "This drug is great. It takes away the pain and I don't feel the period pain for a lot of hours. When I don't take during my period, my period gets heavier and lasts for more than five days which is not usual."

"Nothing ever worked with me. I took almost every kind of medicine to relieve my menstrual pain. I couldnt function on my first day at all and even worried weeks before about when and where i'll get it next. My family worried so much. Clofen worked like magic. I never comment about my experience in things like this but i had to share my remarkable recovery. Yes! It feels like i recovered. Now i do not have to worry at all and make sure i have enough to take on my first 2 days only. No side effects so far."

Cataflam (diclofenac) "I was prescribed Cataflam by my dentist after a tooth extraction and it worked very well. After the extraction had healed I had some left over , so I decided to use it when my dreaded monthly demon of a period hit. I must say, although not all the pain has gone it helped drastically, from not being able to do anything but whine in pain to actually functioning normally. Try it ladies, it helps. I took two 50mg tablets."

Cataflam (diclofenac) "I used it and it worked wonders...... after a few hours of pain. My period cramps are soooo bad..they are horrible they make me vomit and cry and take breaks from uni but it’s the worst pain I ever feel. I have tried all the tablets in the world nothing works so I take a injection to feel better"

"Voveran is the only drug which relives me from the menstrual cramp. The pain is like a delivery pain for me. I have to take 4 tablets on first day, 2 on second day. I get serious stomach ache with burning sensation the after taking the medicine"

"I was actually prescribed this for osteoarthritis in my knee but quickly realized that it was doing wonders for what have always been extremely bad periods and menstrual cramps. This drug has definitely been a great relief every month."

"After the diagnosys of "Tennis Elbow" I used Rapidus 50, 2 pills in the morning and 2 at the evening. The pain stopped immediately, but after I stopped using this prescribed drug, the pain continued, even thou little bit reduced. I stopped using Rapidus. After 3 months I went back to doctor for the Elbow pain and received therapy ( 4 times). There were small improvements. Now I take only one pill of Rapidus 50, after that I do not have pain for 48 hours."

"I usually tolerate my menstrual pain till it gets too much. The pain varies monthly based on my diet so I just take 100mg of diclofenac and honestly it works in 10 minutes for me. Although there are times it delays action and I'd be forced to drink this oil I think they call it fish oil. It stinks but it works too and then I'll feel just fine for the rest of my period."

"I have fibroids which causes me to have very painful periods, the first day I took the drug which is white in colour I felt relieved from pain; the next day I took the pink tablet of 2 X100mg without checking the mg which was an overdose, the pain has minimised still feeling the period clamp."

"Please don't take this on an empty stomach if you plan to take the tabs. For those who find the tabs as ineffective as I do or even react negatively to taking them orally, try an intramuscular injection. That's the only thing that works better than a CBD soak. if you have legal access to medicinal soaks, you're safer and better off using those on most of your period days and reserving the IM voltaren shot for when you need it most.

"Initial dose was effective. However second dose seems to be not as effective. Experiencing pain as if medication was not taken. Will continue to take until pain or heaviest part of cycle declines. Fearful or combining with other pain medication"

Cataflam (diclofenac) "My period is awful like I can’t leave bed when I have it, nausea, bent over in pain the works. The pain is something I can’t stand and so when I was 17 I first tried this it’s saved me a few times. I suffer from other chronic conditions so I’m constantly in pain and I need to manage my period pain as best I can and this works. I take one about every 4-6 hours for the 7days I have my period"

"My first period came with pain and it has continued that way. I've a lot of drugs and other therapy but every month was bad till I discovered diclofenac. It's at least bearable as long as I take it as soon as my period comes and consistently throughout the 5 days."

"I started menstruating at the age of 12, and back then it was pain free . As I grew older, the pain started growing and when I was 15 years old, it became worse to the extent that , I couldn't do a thing or say a word during the first 24 hours of my period. I'll just be on my bed crying and crying through out. This went on till I was 16 years old, my mum discovered Sureclofen (Diclofenac) and I started taking it . It works like magic. Before I discovered Sureclofen, I normally take paracetamol, bosofan, panadol extra, but none works. Diclofenac has saved my life. God bless the person who discovered this drug . I'm 19 now and I'm in my second year in university, God knows how I would have survived in school without this drug"

Cataflam (diclofenac) "First days of my period are always bad. I usually take an algopyrin with no-spa in the morning it starts, and it lasts 2-3 hours at max. Regardless of whether I take it before the pain starts or after. With cataflam, it's even worse. I took it before the pain started. Nothing for 30 mins-1hour, then the pain slowly started to creep in. 2 hours later, and it's like I haven't even taken anything, if not worse. It hurts a lot. So for me, it's a big no. As good as this pill was for toothache, it does seriously nothing for period pain for me. For my sister, it works wonders though. So it really is a hit or miss. At least it's easy to swallow."

"I always have intense period cramps and when I started using Diclofenac(hydrac p) the cramping either stops or reduces It is very relieving Today. I'm cramping again and I've taken by God's grace the dosage But this time it's taken longer to for the effect. I'm getting scared that maybe my system has adapted to it What do I do. The only side effects I have is sleeping"

"Diclofenac in the form of suppositories- It is helpful like a magic when it comes to the periods pain. I cannot get up while pain and those 3 days are really bad for me. Before this medication I used to take Diclofenac injections on every start of period but for the ease on any place where I go doctor recommended Diclofenac in the form suppositories. I am blessed with this and always get relieved"

Cataflam (diclofenac) "Cataflam is a life saver, I usually have excruciating pain during my period but Cataflam literally makes it disappear. I recommend you take before you start to feel cramps else if take about an hour to kick in but once it does I even forget I’m on my period. I take two pills every 6 hour interval."
