[Experiences with the use of sodium diclofenac (Voltaren) in rheumatic diseases]

150 mg/day sodic diclofenac was found particularly active in subjects with diathetic rheumatism and arthrosis. Excellent general and gastrointestinal tolerance was noted after prolonged administration and in aged subjects with cardiac damage. A protracted therapeutic effect was obtained, especially in cases of diathetic rheumatism.
