Doctor’s Review

Dr. Farhan Malik, Consultant Rheumatologist
“Diclofenac Potassium (Swiso-P) is a reliable NSAID for short-term relief of pain and inflammation in arthritis, gout, and musculoskeletal conditions. While effective, it should always be used with caution in patients with stomach, heart, liver, or kidney problems. Long-term or high-dose use carries risks, so it is important to follow a doctor’s instructions strictly.”
