Alcohol and Diclofenac: what the published research says
PubMed indexes 4 records that name Alcohol and Diclofenac together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Alcohol and Diclofenac. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
A study appearing here is not proof that an interaction exists. Two substances can be named together in a paper that never tested them in combination, and a source listed as background may cover only one of them.
Findings are quoted from each abstract as the authors wrote them. NutriStack has not re-analysed, pooled, or reconciled them, and they may disagree with each other.
NutriStack’s own interaction assessment for this pair is not published here. It has not completed qualified-human clinical review, so it is withheld from search. See the publication gate.
Nothing here is medical advice. Decisions about prescription medication and supplements belong with your prescriber or pharmacist, who can see your full regimen.
The research
4 studies naming Alcohol and Diclofenac.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“The adsorption of diclofenac and oxytetracycline was influenced by many factors including π-π interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic forces. FMC exhibited excellent reusability and retained urine nutrients during pharmaceutical adsorption.”
“The high drug release values of both lidocaine and diclofenac were controlled by the gelatin/poly(vinyl alcohol) transdermal patch. The patch showed good stability over the study period of 3 months when kept at 4°C or under ambient temperature.”
“This study demonstrates a powerful method for performing meta-analysis, using available individual patient data to examine numerous factors that may affect an outcome of interest. In this case, mild elevations of SGOT were examined and found to be related to baseline SGOT levels, diclofenac use (in OA), and aspirin use (in RA).”

Limitations
What this evidence cannot tell you.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
Selection. These records were found by searching PubMed titles and abstracts for both substance names alongside interaction and pharmacokinetic terms. Relevant work that phrases things differently, or is not indexed in PubMed, will be missing.
No effect size. The quoted conclusions are the authors’ words about their own study. We have not extracted effect direction or magnitude, and a single study’s conclusion is not a consensus.
Population mismatch. Findings in healthy volunteers, animals, or a specific patient group may not transfer to you, your dose, or your formulation.
Absence is not safety. Few published studies means the combination is under-studied, which is not the same as established as safe.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Alcohol, Diclofenac, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
