๐Ÿ’Š Diclofenac is one of the most widely prescribed NSAIDs. Available in two salt forms โ€“ Sodium and Potassium โ€“ the choice between them depends on clinical need, onset of action, and patientโ€™s cardiovascular profile.

โ–ช๏ธPotassium Salt = Fast onset, acute pain โ†’ Watch for rapid BP spikes.

โ–ช๏ธSodium Salt = Sustained action, chronic pain โ†’ Watch for long-term BP rise.

โ–ช๏ธPotassium is preferred when quick analgesia is needed (migraine, trauma, dental pain).

โ–ช๏ธSodium is preferred when long-term control is needed but must be used cautiously in hypertensive/cardiac patients.

โ–ช๏ธDiclofenac Potassium is often preferred over Sodium in acute settings because of its faster absorption and rapid onset, even though both can influence BP.

โ–ช๏ธ Always monitor blood pressure in patients with hypertension or cardiovascular disease.

๐Ÿ‘‰ While we compare Diclofenac Potassium with Diclofenac Sodium, it doesnโ€™t mean Sodium should be completely avoided. The point is about preference, because sodium is still essential for the body. Too little sodium can disturb the whole electrolyte balanc
